Making Connection Question 2

Everyone has different stories and where they came from. People's honesty is a key trait to solving problems. In everyday life people will make up lies to satisfy others, but in reality we need to be honest. There was a time when I was younger where I flooded my basement. I decided to stuff the blueberries down the drain and this caused the basement to flood. I immediately blamed my brother because we shared the blueberries. I watched my brother get yelled at and put in time out. I thought I would get away with this one. As I sat thinking in my room and playing with my polly pockets, I had an epiphany. I should not have lied to get out of something I ultimately had done. I marched down the stairs and told my grandmother the truth. The punishment was worse for me because I lied. From then on, I learned it is not okay to lie whether it is big or small.
