I'm a LIAR

I freaking hate liars....but the deeper I dive, the more I am seeing I'm a liar!
I know darn well I used to lie when I was younger, everything I did was illegal!  Of course I lied, or I would be in big trouble!
I don't blatantly lie now, but as I listen to myself tell stories.... I embellish.
It's not like my life and stories are so boring I need to lie, but my creative juices flow, and a story may get better and bigger than reality.
There's no room for the truth in a good story.
I think because I like my words and excitement, I may feel my stories need to get grander than they are.  Life with 3 kids is anything but boring, but my literal available span to leave the house is strictly calculated down to the minute of 11am-1pm, and from 3:30-5pm.  Come hell or high water my baby will be in her cot for a nap on time!  It's not an option.  So I guess because my time for acquiring experience and stories becomes more limited, the stories may become bigger.
The fish was THIS big.
Sometimes if the conversation is boring or I want to end it, if someone assumes something, I will just agree.  No harm no foul, even if it's not the truth.
Haven is my arch nemesis when telling stories, as if every word I say is not verbatim he will call me out like a casino snitch!  "That's not what she said!"  Ugh!  Haven!  That was the punch line!
So no, don't go cutting me off thinking I am not trustworthy or dishonest, but when I do have to admit, I am a bit of a liar.  :)
Babe, watch out, the last time I thought the back up sensors were "Being dramatic" I hit a curb! So James says "You told me the car didn't beep when you backed into the curb!!!!"  Well, I don't think it beeped..... well I didn't hear it beep, but maybe I just wasn't listening. Or maybe it did beep and I just thought it was being dramatic.  The last scenario was just a story of something like the truth.
"Well did it beep or didn't it beep?"  For God sake I have no recollection and can't remember so I just told 2 different versions of the story, ONE of which is true, but both you and I won't know which, as I honestly don't know.
