Of course, all of us were perfect children. However, there may have been a time or two—no more than that—when we fell short of angelic behavior and fell into the depths of naughty behavior. Perhaps we weren’t quite truthful when we explained that the dog ate our homework. Or maybe it was not accurate to say that a passerby threw a rock through the window.  Erma Bombeck says, “Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth”.  What words of wisdom do you have ?
