Maybe it’s just one of those lies I “want” to believe. Maybe it’s that Marc’s friend is trying to manipulate his own parents through lying about his friend – cause a rift (as if there wasn’t one already) to keep us from communicating.

In reality, if the mom I refer to in this post didn’t believe it, I really don’t think others will either. “My good name” isn’t in jeopardy because of a stupid thing my kid said.
