When I answered the phone and it was someone my mother didnt want to talk to, I said, “Louise, mom is here, but she doesnt want to talk to you.” The first time I did i

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.
18、” She admitted that her methods werent 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 honestand yet kind.
