Liar

Have you ever lied before? Of course, we have all lied before in our lives but to a mother, it's difficult. I mean it is impossible to lie to my mother! Every time I think about lying to her, my hands start to shake and my breath feels heavy. It's beyond difficult and I can't seem to control it. 
A few weeks ago, my friends and I wanted to go to the mall. Well, the only problem was that we wanted to take the light rail to the mall. Hesitantly, I called my mother telling her that I was going home in my aunt's car. She could hear the tremble in my voice and immediately asked me if I was lying. Again, I could not lie to her! Impossible, impossible, impossible. "Um," and then it spilled out like a river flowing through a stream. Of course she wasn't mad or anything but boy did I get a mouth full. At the moment she was occupied and she allowed me to go to the mall with my friends. However, she called me every single minute to see if "I was having fun." Of course, she was calling to make sure that I was okay. That I wasn't kidnapped or God forbid dead. It's crazy but she is really really overprotective. I don't mind but there's a point were enough is enough. Try telling her that! So, to reduce anger in the house, I just try to listen to her and follow the rules. Whatever you want as long as you never fight!

Who knew I'd get better advice from a fellow teenager than an adult? Mom's ARE a little too overprotective sometimes. I guess that's a good thing, but only once in a while. They tell you to grow up already, but whenever you want to leave the house, it's like going through security at the airport.
