Lies

My life is has a few lies. Starting with the fact that I am a huge liar myself. Or so my parents say. I disagree and say that I only lie to them about little things that aren't important. Lying to my parents doesn't count as a lie to me anymore. Of course when I say it like that it sounds like a horrible thing, but it really has become a bad habit of mine. Just today for instance, my dad asked me if I was done with my homework because I was watching Top Chef. I said yes and that I would go to bed afterwards. I clearly wasn't done with my homework or planning on going to bed because I am finishing it right now. The weirder part is my parents know I'm lying. They have also gotten used to it to the point where they know the answer will be a lie. It also helps them that even though I lie a lot(about small things!!!) I am a terrible liar. I can't lie without smiling or giggling or I make silly mistakes like having a word document with the heading on it but no words right in front of me when I claim to be finished with my history. I don't know why I continue to do it because everyone knows I'm lying. Sometimes however, I get into a really detailed lie or it is something where people are being mean and accusing me of doing something really bad, and I convince myself I haven't. One case was when one of my parents accused me of hitting my brother on purpose. I was about to say it was when I was younger, but why lie? My brother and I were having an argument in the summer and somehow I got so mad I

"accidentally" whipped a pillow across his head. My brother tattled on me and my parents came to get mad. I started to tell them I didn't do anything (not really believing the lie myself) until I had repeated it so many times that I was beginning to make myself believe I hadn't done it(of course deep-down I still knew I was guilty). Because my parents wouldn't trust me I got so upset and started crying about how unfair it was that they would accuse me of something I didn't do(I'm a bit of a drama queen). On the rare occasions that don't include Justin, I can sometimes get them to believe me. Whenever Mr. I-never-tell-a-lie-and-am-a-huge-tattletale is involved they don't believe me. Justin is EXTREMELY honest. He won't tell white lies(which I think are okay if they are to avoid hurting people's feelings) and he wouldn't lie about arguments with me. 

Other than those small lies, I live a pretty lie-free life.

as far as I know...
