Done something shitty to DD or DS and now feel guilty? Get it off your chest here and ask forgiveness for your sins. I will start the ball rolling...
DS2 has been growing cucumbers in the garden (very successfully, I might add?) and DS 3 has been growing tomatoes. The particular variety of cucumber should only grow to about the size of a small banana. My parents gave us a marrow that was too big for the 2 of them to share, DH thought it would be a larf to trick DS2 that it was a freakishly huge cucumber from his plant. He totally fell for it and cried tears of joy at the thought of having produced such a mammoth cucumber. We didn't have the heart to confess and shatter his illusions so now the entire family has had to lie aswell. We drove 160 miles to the inlaws with the marrow/cucumber and he cried again when showing it to grandma (who was in on it and backed us up!) We then cooked it following grandma's 'stuffed cucumber' recipe (all references to marrow carefully replaced by the word cucumber) and he stated how proud he was to have fed the whole family with just one cucumber. He then asked for us to take a photo so that he could show his class when he goes back to school next week. Oh, the tangled web we weave... At what point do we confess, or do we carry on and hope he forgets it eventually? My idea was to confess in a letter, keep it in a safety deposit box 'to be opened on my death' type thing...
So, I have confessed my sin, am I going to hell or can this crime against my son be forgiven?
Has anyone else told a terrible porkie that backfired?
