I Can’t Go 24 Hours Without Lying
It's the little things: "How are you?" Your answer: "Good." Are you good, though? If not, why did you lie? Is it possible for you to go an entire day without telling a lie?
Here's how a normal conversation goes in my house.
Me: I'm home. I got chicken and some Red Bull.
Janice: How much was it?
Me: The total was $40.
Janice: Wow, $40?
Me: Yeah, that was our total.
The real story is this: I went to the store and got a couple of things but then asked for cash back. That's how the total ended up being $40. Why would I lie?
Tomorrow morning we challenge you. Think about what you've lied about.
Shout out to Albertsons on Vista who never questions me and also listens to me every single time I check out and explain why I'm getting cash back. I swear, I need to invite them over next Christmas. They are so patient with a rambling me.
