Nah, you're trying to be normal. Especially when you were little. I used to lie all the time like that . It made me hope that maybe what I said was true. After all, When I spect all weekend alone staring at the TV or playing alone in the dirt in the backyard because dad was hungover and p'd off or sleeping all day and I wasn't supposed to disturb him and mom was in a bad mood and they told people that life was great, then why was it wrong for me to tell people abouthow great MY life was? HUGGGGGSSS. You're just doing the grown up version of it.
