There's a difference between lying and honestly forgetting something. But you know those moments when you say something that once was true but the second you say it you realize that it's now a lie. But it's not really your fault. Or at least, that's what you say to keep your conscious clear. Though, it's not like you try to clear up the misunderstanding that the lie causes. Let's have an example:
Mandy: why'd you write that?
Ralf: I don't even know anymore.
First of, Ralf sounds pretty dramatic. But anyway. The second those words leave his mouth, Ralf realizes that he wrote those hurtful words because he was mad that his older sister would pick her friends over hanging with him. But instead of explaining that, he just goes with the not remembering bit. After all, Ralf is getting old.
And then there's just bending the truth. But that has it's own category.
I've been doing my fair share of each recently.
