Oddly, I was brought up by a mother who said those things, but acted in a completely different way!
I didn't realise until I moved back here how many "little white lies" she tells.
Her friends must think me so ignorant when they call up, because I am so vague about where she is and what she is doing. I've been shouted at before for saying she was at Tesco when apparently she was supposed to be ill (unable to go to meet a particular friend). "Not my fault you lie to your friends" said I. That went down well...
I am learning it's not worth the bother.
I will write out a 100 times, I should not lie, Lola says I will burn in hell.
Or at least that's what I'll tell you
