Today is the parents teachers meeting for Richie. Mama has been anticipating that he's in the middle range and didn't make any trouble in the class.
So when mama met the teachers, both said that Richie was a nice boy, people's person who could mix with everyone even the outcast ones.
As his academic performance, they said that Richie was doing pretty okay, a little bit playful here and there but he's smart actually and nothing much to worry about.
Then mama asked one million dollar question to his form teacher about punishment that he needed to stay back during the exam to clean up the class.
The teachers were caught in surprise and so did I. They told us that they never did that to any students and in fact they asked the students to leave the class right after the dismissal.
Mama was burning mad, felt cheated and disappointed with him. Mama asked him right after parents teachers meeting what's going on ? Why did you lie ? What was the truth ?
Richie kept changing the story until mama didn't know which one was the truth.
Hopelessly, mama told Richie
" you can lie to mama and papa as well as your teacher, but you can't lie to God. He knows what has happened."
God's been so good to you, He gave you perfect health, complete family, smart brain and this is what you do to Him, make Him cry."
After dropping him at home, I told him to pray and ask forgiveness for God after that tell the truth to mama and papa, we will regard the last story will be the real truth, if he's still make up the story, it's between him and God. And I asked him to go for confession this coming Sunday.
When I told his papa, papa felt upset and disappointed as well. We were wondering why did he lie ?
Did he do something badly and afraid of punishment or was it the way we handled him that make him fear of us ?
