When I 37 there I apologized for being late, and told him I’d 38 as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed some major repairs. I’ll never forget the 39 he gave me. “I’m disappointed you 40 you have to lie to me, Jason.” Dad looked at me again. “When you didn’t 41 . I called the garage to ask if there were any 42 , and they told me you hadn’t yet picked up the car. ” I felt 43 as I weakly told him the real reason. A 44 passed through Dad as he listened attentively. “I’m angry with 45 . I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about 46 I’ve gone wrong all these years.” “But Day, it’s 18 miles!” My protests and apologies were 47 . Dad walked home that day.

I have never lied since.
