The Truth Hurts

My 8-year-old son Ben looked in the mirror, looked back at me, and looked into the mirror again.

As I measured the appropriate dose of Children’s Tylenol, young Ben asked me, “What will I tell my friends at school?”

I answered with the thoughtful advice of a caring father, “Tell them the truth.  You busted your upper lip, while climbing the wall.”

There, that’s not so hard is it?  Certainly not believable, but honestly the truth.  Plus, now you know how Spider-Man feels.  Just ask Peter Parker.
