Honesty

As soon as the truth came out of my mouth, I knew I should have lied. I'm lying on the couch in a shirt and shorts with a towel on my head, and someone is knocking on my door. I open my door to 4 little kids and a yorkie puppy/dog. "Did you lose a dog?" "No" I said. As soon as I said it, I knew my answer should have been "Oh my dog you found him/her" I tried to make up for my response by assuring the kids I would LOVE to keep the dog until the owner could be found, or for forever if need be. They seemed fine with the answer, said they had a few more houses to visit and would be back if no one claimed him. 5 minutes later, they were back-no dog. Probably someone who was a little more on top of their game today than me.
