“No, I told a BIG lie. To my teacher. I’m ashamed of myself over the whole thing,” I said, exasperated. “I didn’t have my science report, so I told my teacher a lie to cover my tail. I was even going to forge a note from Mom and Dad! And the worst part is, the lie was about you being in the hospital.…”

Grandpa stood up quickly, his feathery wings exploding from his back. He flapped into the air and waved his wings at me. “Hospital?! I’m in the prime of my life!” he said, swaying back and forth. “Ooof. That made me a little dizzy. I’m going to sit back down now.”

Gavin swung the bedroom door open. Apparently, he’d been listening at the door. “You feel guilty, Peter?” he asked. “Telling a lie isn’t that big a deal. I do it all the time. Nice jammies, by the way.”

“Thanks!” I said. My pajamas were brand-new, so I took the compliment.

“That was a lie,” Gavin sneered. “See? It’s easy to lie.”

“But it’s not honest!” I said. “I’m ending all my lies tomorrow morning. I’m going to tell the truth. No more lying. Never. Not even if it’s an emergency.”

“Don’t say never, Peter,” Grandpa said. “Sometimes you have to lie. Like when your lady love asks if you like her dress. Even if you hate it, you have to say something nice.”

“Stop freaking out, kid brother,” Gavin said. “You just have to learn the right way to tell a lie. One: Always look your opponent right in the eyes. Two: Smile big. And three: Never stutter. If you stutter, people will know you’re nervous. Speaking of nervous, try not to sweat so much when you lie. That’s a telltale sign. Remember those rules and you’ll be golden.”
