And I had just learned to drive, so I with pleasure. First we came to the town. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it parked and promised to pick dad up at 4 pm. Because I have a few to spend, I decided to go to the . However, I became so interested in the films that I forgot the . When the last film finished, it was 6 pm.
I was afraid that dad would be and never let me drive again, so I drove back to meet dad and made an excuse for being late. Then dad caught me in the lie. I’ll never forget he said to me.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jack. I’m angry, not with you, but with myself. I’ve because there must be something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn’t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. I’m going to home now and think seriously about it.”
Dad began walking along the road. I begged all the way, telling him how sorry I was. I drove behind him for 18 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most lesson. I have never lied to him ever since.
