making up a story so dumb it makes a toddler’s imagination look smart. you stick to it like glue even when the evidence is screaming at you.
'I didn’t steal the cookies!', but there was chocolate on his face and crumbs on his shoes.
'I didn’t run away from the dog!', but the dog was chasing him down the street.
'I didn’t spill the paint!', but the wall looked like a rainbow.
