Lies My Mother Told Me / Lies I Told My Mother
by Daniel Uncapher
You must go to school.
I’m too sick to go to school!
I have eyes on the back of my head.
I missed the bus!
We can’t afford cable.
I wasn’t watching TV!
Hairless men are highly evolved.
I understand!
Mothers never forget.
I don’t remember!
The fern was already dead.
I watered it every day!
He’s staying in the guesthouse tonight.
I haven’t heard from him!
It’s only a mole, totally meaningless.
You look beautiful!
He’s getting sober.
I’m totally clean!
You had nothing to do with it.
People can change!
We’ll talk soon.
I’ll call you!
