He Tried To Shave His Mustache
I would never leave a razor in the bathroom. Let me change that, I think I have left a razor in my shower but we have one of those tile seats so if my kids go in, I’m thinking I may have seen it. Nevertheless, my sister left a razor downstairs in the bathroom and M’khai comes running in to my office going on about he slipped in the bathroom and cut himself. On the lip. I have this bad habit of not processing information first and instead, I react. I jumped up, screamed out for the 16 year old and was ready to lay into his ass thinking it was his. He told me it was his mom’s and I dialed her up ready to ream her out. Hubby steps in and wanted to hear what happened. And at that moment that I started repeating the story, I realized I had been lied to.
You can’t fall on a razor and cut your lip. Try it. It’s not happening. Not with one of these.
I then realized that if he did fall a) someone would have heard him and b) he could have been cut on the leg or somewhere other than the lip. I can’t get this kid to stop lying to save my life. I only got the truth (which was he tried to shave like hey do on tv) because the kids believe I have hidden cameras throughout the house and once I say I’m going to the tape, I get the truth. There has to be a better way. I tried telling him that if I need to defend him I won’t be able to because he is lying too much. Nothing. I once heard that lying was a good thing because it encourages using one’s imagination. When does that stop though?
This could have been worse. There shouldn’t be any dangerous objects left in the reach of kids. M’khai is 8 and should know better but I get that he’s a kid and kids are always curious.
I’ve gotta fix this lying thing. *sad shrug*
