Video - Timmy the Tall-Tale Teller: A Lesson in Honesty

Timmy was a bright and imaginative 8-year-old boy, but he had one big problem - he couldn't stop telling lies. No matter how small the situation, Timmy always embellished the truth or made up tall tales instead of just being honest. "How was school today dear?" his mother would ask when he got home.It was awesome! I got a perfect score on my math test and the teacher said I was a genius," Timmy would lie with a big grin. His mother would smile proudly, not realizing her son was being completely untruthful. One day, Timmy came home with his nice new jacket torn and muddy. "What happened?" his concerned mother asked. "Well, I was playing kickball at recess and I stopped a huge dogfrom attacking a little girl! The dog jumped up and scratched my jacket as I bravely fought him off," Timmy invented wildly.
