When I was little I had a nap nearly every day. Usually sometime in the mid afternoon my mom would have me go take a nap and then she would take a break and maybe nap too. I remember one day when my mom was occupied I snuck out of my room during nap time and went into her room. I don't remember too many specifics but I know that I took a Vitamin C without permission. I liked those big chewable vitamins because they were like candy. My mom knew that I had taken one and she confronted me on it. I told an untruth and said that I had not taken the vitamin.
I don't remember exactly what the consequence was, but I remember that my mother knew the truth and she was very disappointed in me. I think that all children want to please their parents and I was no different. I felt bad that I hadn't told the truth and that I had let down my mom. I was very remorseful. Later in life when I felt like not answering honestly to my mom I remembered that experience and quickly changed my mind. Honesty really is the best policy.
