It Made Sense to Me

I once had a friend named Jessica. Jessica's family owned a little dog. I was terrified of dogs so I told Jessica's mother that I was allergic to them. Jessica's dog was locked in her parent's bathroom whenever I came over and I was only invited if she had just vacuumed. This went on for a year. Then Jessica's mother learned from my mother that I was not, in fact, allergic to dogs. I was just a scaredy cat. Embarrassing.

At least she didn't need to vacuum every time I came over... but she thankfully still locked up the dog.

  1. I did the same thing when I was young! Though I don't think they found out, they only had the dog for a short time

  2. That's awesome. I think of some of the lies I told as a kid because I kind of believed them to be true (allergic to the sun, someone hit my head with a basketball and I said I had amnesia, said that the front half of my house was in surrey and the back was in langley). Kids are creative!
