The First Time I Ever Told A Lie to My Mother It was 1996. I was five years old. It was the fall of my kindergarten year in Mrs. Brown’s class. I’d never lied to my mom before, but on this day I told a big lie! Here’s the story of what happened on that day. It all started when we were at naptime. Earlier that day we played with clay in art, and a really good piece of clay was lying on the floor. I don’t know why, but I picked it up and started rolling it around on my skirt. It made a big mess on my skirt. I was so messy and my skirt was new. When I got home, my mother asked me what was on my skirt. I didn’t want to get in trouble, so I told her a boy named Glen had put clay all over my skirt. She didn’t believe me since my brother’s name was Glen , but she also didn’t punish me. I never could figure that out! She just sent me outside to play. I’ll never forget that day. The End. (Thank you for reading my memoir.)
