  I think it was my mother who taught me the meaning of honesty.Not because she actually was honest, but because she lied all the time.She felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was generally the best way out.And, for her, that generally meant telling a “little white lie”.As a young child I thought it was kind of cool.And, naturally, when I would come to her with a concern or question wondering what I should do, she generally advised me to lie.

  “Mom, I told Theresa that I would go over to her house, but now I would rather go to Sue's house to play.”

  “Tell Theresa you're sick,” she would advise.And generally I did.But I didn't seem blessed with her lack of conscience.On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to Sue's house without her.These occasions taught me that it is more painful to be caught in a lie than it is to tell the truth in the first place.I wondered how it was possible that my mother had never learned that lesson.

  I started thinking of all the lies that I'd heard her tell.I remembered the time she told someone that her favorite restaurant had closed, because she didn't want to see them there anymore.Or the time she told Dad that she loved the lawn-mower he gave her for her birthday.Or when she claimed that our phone lines had been down when she was trying to explain why she hadn't been in touch with a friend of hers for weeks.And what bothered me even more were all the times she had involved me into her lies.Like the time she told my guidance counselor that I had to miss school for exploratory surgery, when she really needed me to babysit.And it even started to bother me when someone would call for her and she would ask me to tell them that she wasn't there.

  So, I started my own personai fight against her dishonesty.When I answered the phone and it was someone my mother didn't want to talk to, I said, “Louise, mom is here, but she doesn't want to talk to you.” The first time I did it, she punished me, but I refused to apologize.I told her that I had decided that it was wrong to lie.And the next time it happened I did the same thing.Finally, she approached me and said, “I agree that lying is not the best thing to do, but we need to find a way to be honest without being rude.” She admitted that her methods weren't right, and I admitted that mine were a bit too extreme.

  Over the past few years, the two of us have worked together to be honest-and yet kind.Honesty should mean more than not lying.It should mean speaking the truth in kindness.Though I started by trying to teach my mom the importance of honesty, I ended up gaining a deeper understanding of the meaning of the term.

  Our neighbor's son was getting married in 1971 at a church, and we were invited.We immediately rushed out for the store, and I bought a nice dress with a jacket.The dress was a little tight, but I had a month before the June 30- wedding and I would lose a few pounds.

  June 29 came and, of course, I had not lost a single pound; in fact, I had gained two.But, I thought a new girdle(健美裤)would solve my problem.So on our way to the wedding, we stopped once again at the store.I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large girdle.

  The clerk found the box with the described girdle, marked “L”, and asked if I would like to try it on.“Oh, no, large will fit just right.I won't need to try it on.”

  The next morning was hot, so I waited to get dressed until about forty-five minutes before time to go.I opened the girdle box only to find a new $ 49.95 girdle in a size small.Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out between me and the girdle.Have you ever tried to shake twenty pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag?Finally, my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it, and I was ready to go.

  As we walked into the church, he asked if I could make it.Now, he was getting worried because I was breathing funny.I told him that I would.It lasted one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight-and-one-half seconds, and the minister blessed everything except my girdle!

  My knees were blue and my legs lost all the feeling.My husband was asking questions and trying to comfort me.

  As soon as the minister pronounced them married, I rushed out with my husband.“Please, just get me out of here!” I said.

  We ran out to our car, and once there he opened the front and back passenger doors against the next car.Right there, before God, human and the wedding party, I took off that girdle.When the girdle flew out of my hand and landed under the car next to ours, my husband was laughing so hard and we drove away.

  Over the years, he and I had wondered what the people of that church thought the next morning when they found$49.95, size small girdle in their parking lot.
