I overheard a child ramble on, ‘liar, liar, pants on fire… take a shower on the hour!’ I laughed to myself, while continuing the fight with the overcooked salmon on my plate with my chopsticks. It was still good enough with a little rice. I got to thinking… this kids little rhyme has some depth which I never really realized before. Lying can leave you feeling like you were had. Done dirty in all respects. Whether it’s the lies we tell ourselves, being lied to by others, or lying to others ourselves. Keeping up with the lies is tough because if it isn’t the truth, it’s hard to remember what was what. Eventually the truth comes out. We learn a lesson, and carry on.

C’est la vie, no?
