As I grew older, I also found I have a high respect for people who tell me the truth no matter what. I can’t even be mad. I just say, “Thank you for telling me.” Why be mad, I may not wanted to hear it or really needed to hear it but all in all it was the truth. In some relationship’s, I find myself asking, “Why did you lie?” And the response seem to be the same because I did not know how you would take it. You have to trust in a person to be able to take the truth and give the truth to that person. When I find someone that is honest and tells the truth, I find it refreshing and I can actually laugh at it (not be mad).

My daughter, I love her, but man oh man, I can just drop her off somewhere to leave her (hint: like the parents in Nebraska). She is not learning that the little lies mean something and if I catch that she has lied, that is when hell break lose. I can’t look at her the same and not believe anything that she says. She has not noticed when she tells the truth I am like okay, find you something to do. When she lies I am like, what is your problem! She tells me she knows she is lying but she can’t help it. My response is you better start helping it even if you have to talk yourself out of it.

Anywho…I like this blog!
