And for stupid reasons too - And in full public - nearly all the comments on that article are calling them liars!!
When I was 9 years old, I took a picture in to my new school of me horse-riding for show and tell or whatever it was called at the time. The teacher asked if it was my horse and I just blurted out yes in front of the whole class - Gawd knows why! Anyway, they asked where I kept it and I said My cousin's farm. Again, gawd knows why.
Well over the school year I kept getting asked about my horse and the lies just grew and grew and got totally out of hand to the point the teacher was arranging a class visit to said mythical farm. I totally went along with it and It was only when the teacher phoned my mum to ask about the arrangements that the truth unravelled and my tall tales came tumbling down. I got teased for the rest of my primary years and My mum still reminds me of this at family gatherings.
I wish for Katie and Carl to feel the equivalent burning humiliation and shame of going into school facing the whole class who now knows you are a total pants on fire!!
