The Consequences of Lying

Lying usually does not help a situation in the long run. If guilt does not get you to tell the truth, someone will usually decipher the lie. It has always been understood that sneaking out of the house is an act that should not be done by good boys and girls. Even though this was evident to me, I decided to go against my parents’ rules and sneak out anyway. I was convinced by one of my friends to pick him up and take him to get food. Instead of making a prodigious amount of noise and opening the garage door to drive my vehicle, I decided to drive my dad’s work-car that was already parked outside. I had planned everything perfectly. I assumed my parents would resume sleeping until I got home, and I would just sneak into the basement to my room since their room is upstairs. If it were not for our fireplace needing more wood through the night, my plan would have worked perfectly. When I pulled in the driveway, I snuck around to the back door. I went inside to find my very angered father staring at me. I realized that night that abiding by my household rules are much easier than sitting at home for the next two weeks by myself.
