Liam knew what would cross everyone's mind if they found out. They'd call him irresponsible, a liar, a deceiver, selfish. His thoughts filled his head. Even if he tells his mom the truth, she'll still be mad. But he couldn't keep up with these lies. Finally, he spoke, "I um...I have something to tell you mom", he whispers under his breath. Tapping his foot anxiously, unwilling to look her in the eye. He says, "My teacher never paddled me, I just got caught up having so much fun at the park I forgot the time. I truly am sorry." His heart began racing like a wild animal trying to escape his chest. He knew his mom well enough to know she was not going to let this go easily.
