honestly

this week we've been discovering honesty because there's been little of it previously,  apparently. 

in times past some lazy fool bought a gamers console to ruin any chance of communication,  self discipline and creativity.  

after having it charged and discussing it's need to remain at home it got confiscated by a teacher.  

  Compounding the problem was the web of lies being generated to avoid reality and make himself look ok.  be like:

- left it at school. 

- can't remember,  i have a bad memory. 

- (after being told i was meeting his principal next week) oh yes the teacher might have put it somewhere. 

- to,  yes it was confiscated. 

- i took it because my mate wanted to see it.  

   so we had many lies;

- agreeing not too take it.

- taking it. 

- claiming it was lost. 

- denying it had been confiscated. 

- claiming he had memory loss.

- the teacher misplaced it.

- i didn't want to take it,  my mate asked me to. 

so there, seven lies and a truckload of damage to trust in our relationship. 

I get the he may have a genetic disposition and have these behaviors modeled to him over so called parents or carers over many years,  but it ain't gonna fly.
