The brain of a child has been likened to a sponge, just ready to absorb the many experiences of life. The parents of course want the best for their child, urging them to follow their example. Sometimes that example, though heartfelt, can snap us into reality as we realize that our child is not a child anymore. Many parents if not all, insist that their children not lie to them. This story is about a family who insist on the truth at all times. They even instill hell-fire repercussions to their daughter so that she won’t lie. When their family lie is exposed, these parents learn, a lie is a lie regardless, even if it’s a “Holiday Lie.”
