Nothing but a money grubbing guy! Just like the balloon boy lost, doing anything to make a buck! Now he’s suing for more money, saying two thousand dollars an episode isn’t enough for all of them to share!
Greedy dude man!

I can clearly remember the first tiem I told a lie!  As usual, it was from a child to a parent.  I was friends with girls in the neighborhood, and every Wednesday, they would get together at Stacy’s house and play “pick up sticks” .  Well, my dad ended up in a disagreement with Stacy’s father, and as a result, I was no longer allowed to go to Stacy’s!

One Wednesday night, I was waiting for my father to pick me up, and he was just a little late.  I could hear the girls from Stacy’s laughing up a storm!  I figured I could just pay them a little visit to say hello and be back before my father was none the wiser.

Naturally, once there, I sat down for a game and in no time I was laughing along with the rest of them.  About an hour later, I remembered I wasn’t supposed to be there, and that my dad might be waiting.

I high-tailed it back to my grandmothers (the pickup point) and when she saw me, oh boy, did she rant and rave!  “Your father is SO worried about you!”  “He said if you showed up, you had to walk home!”

I almost ran home, up until the point I was at the front door.  Then I timidly entered the house…

“WHERE were you?!” my father demanded to know.

“I was waiting and waiting for you on Grandma’s porch.  You never showed up.” I (half) lied.

“You KNOW that is not true!  I waited for you for close to an hour.  I’ve been all over this town, worried sick!”  He yelled.

I stuck to my story, and he picked up his switch, determined for me to tell the truth.

Even after a few strokes, I was bull-headed and stuck to my story.  I then admonished him for being late to pick me up!  Not really the brightest thing to do at that point.

Oh, was he angry!  He banished me from his sight and told me he didn’t want to see me until I told him the truth.

Eventually, the next day, I couldn’t handle him ignoring me, and admitted where I’d been.  Wow, even to this day, I’ll never forget that first lie!

Am I just gullible?  It seems my boyfriend, sister, and even some of my friends lie to me all the time, and I never know when it is happening!  How can I tell when someone lies to me?  Is there really something called “truth serum”, and is it legally sold over the counter?  I sure would like to get my hands on some!
