have you ever made up a story to cover for the real deal?

I think when we were children that at one time or another we all might have done this but there is one that I did tell when I was young that I will never forget. My daddy, brother and I went for a campout/fishing weekend. I did not like fishing then, was too young to know the enjoyment of sitting on the bank and loving the outdoors. I ask my daddy if I could use his knife so I could wittle on a piece of stick that I found. He said yes, he opened it up and told me to be careful and I better not cut myself. You guessed it, I cut my leg just above my knee with it and I was so scared, I walked away from where he was fishing and then I turned around and went back to him and I was crying and told him I fell down and cut my leg. It was not bad enough for stitches but it did leave a scar. My daddy was not mad at me just glad it was not worse and he then give me the speech about running with a knife. It was so many years later, I was married and had my kids before he knew the truth. I sure thought I had told him before then but I hadn't. Mine is not as bad as cheating on someone or anything like that but I sure felt bad about covering up the truth to my dad.

Besides saying the dog done it or it wasn't me Well I will have to admit my husband gets angry at me when I tell him I spent all the money and only come home with 3/4 of the stuff I was supposed to. I blame the prices which is true alot of the times, but I always buy my mom some groceries every time I go to the store for my little sister(my mom is who takes me to the store.)I get food for them every month. It does cut into our budget about $20-$30 dollars. He knows I get a few things he says he doesn't care about a bag of chips, a box of cereal or some noodles but he doesn't know how much I truly spend or he would blow his top. . I have done more loads of laundry for my mom then he knows about he thinks it is only 2 loads but it is usually 3-4. I don't tell him how long I have been on the computer, if I am on when he comes home(if he works) I will say I have only been on a few minutes so he won't get mad. I am four hundred pounds and my hubby is slim wears size 32x32 mens and when I roll over I cannot rollover him. But I guess everyone is different and it was an unfortunate thing to happen and I am glad I can't rollover on him and smother him because as much as he gets on my last nerve sometimes I don't know what I do without him.
