I am not into lying. I tell the children the only time you lie is when you are protecting someone's life. If someone would break into the house, grab me, and ask if anyone else is in the house, I will not say "Yes so and so is in the kitchen, and the others are blah blah blah." I would say "No, I'm alone" and hope the others get out or whatever.
That said, I'm ready to break my rule. A young married couple rents one of the ranch houses, and tonight when they paid the rent they brought over a ziploc bag of catfish, big bag. I asked them to come eat it with us but they declined. Hmm.
When I opened the bag, nasty fish smell flooded the house. I held my nose and cooked a batch anyway, but we couldn't gag it down. I spit out my first bite in the kitchen, took some up to Hub to try, and barely got the back door open fast enough for him.
The boys were hooting and hollering, one of them wondered what we would tell them about the fish dinner and out of my mouth came "Lie through your teeth and tell em it was good."
I just don't want to hurt their feelings, maybe they won't ask. Please don't let them ask.
