[September 4, 2025] One lesson I got from my childhood was that most lies I was told were told to me by other children, usually, unintentionally.

[August 29, 2025] As children we used to tease each other occasionally by telling our friends we had a real “good deal” for them. We would sell them a bridge … called the Brooklyn Bridge … at a great price.
