I had the joy of overhearing two young teenage girls, psyched from the climbing gym, loudly and very eagerly discussing exactly how dishonest one could be towards ones parents. One of them had obviously lost or broken some item. They agreed that she didn't have to say how it happened, and pretending that she forgot and put it into the washing machine by mistake was fine. But she could NOT say that her mother had put it into the washing machine by mistake, because that was LYING. "You have to take the responsibility yourself, right?"
On and on. Very amusing :-D
