And yuh does feel shame and embarrass. But dat is karma fuh teaching yuh children fuh talk lie.
Yet when we children lie to we, we does get vex. Dem boys remember de case of de father who went as far as buying a lie-detector machine and testing it pun he son. De boy come home late and de father ask he way he bin. He say he went to de movies. Immediately, de lie-detector machine beep – which show de boy lying.
De father get upset and tell de boy, “At your age, I never lied.”
De machine beep and de mother start to laugh and say, “dat shows he is really your son.” De machine beep again.
But de best was de time when de phone ring and de husband tell he wife, “Tell whoever it is, I am NOT at home.”
De wife answer de phone and say, “He is at home.” And she hung up quickly.
