[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 349897, member: 6705"] One thing I have tried to teach Onyxx and Jett about lying... Is that if you lie about something, now you have to remember not only the truth but the lie as well... And then more lies have to be made up to cover the lie... And more truths/lies must be remembered. The other issue is that if you lie enough about something, you may start believing it yourself. Onyxx lies about really dumb stuff. Gets caught on a regular basis. In our home the rule is this: If you do something wrong and come clean when asked, you get in trouble. If you volunteer the info, you get in trouble - but less. If you lie about it - the trouble rises exponentially. Jett likes to exaggerate... and then say, "just kidding". But Onyxx? I just assume when she tells me something it's a load until proven otherwise. [/QUOTE]
