A lie and a half
A lie so bad it could make a saint swear. Like when you say you didn’t hit your little brother, but he has a black eye and a broken nose.
He said he didn’t steal my phone. A lie and a half. It was in his pocket.
She said she didn’t talk to the principal. A lie and a half. She was in his office.
My dad said he didn’t eat the whole pizza. A lie and a half. There was crust on his shirt.
