Virtual Scapegoat

[Prudence]

When I was in elementary school I was climbing on some monkey bars and got angry at some boy and stomped on his hand really hard. He went to tattle on me and when the playground lady came to investigate I put on my sweet little girl face and expressed my sincere apologies for having slipped accidentally stepped on him while climbing and gosh, I tried to apologize but he just run away....

And of course, since I was such a GOOD little girl, she bought it and sympathized with me about boys and their tempers.

And that was when I first knew that I was a fantastic liar.
