Because sometimes you forget about a lie and then it becomes too late later on when it’s relevant and then you have to keep on lying to cover your ass. Like maybe don’t tell your parents you’re going to be living with two girls and a guy because it’s a better selling point when you have to sign the lease than telling them you’re going to be living with three girls because they’re traditionalists and they would be irrationally not okay with it and then forget that you told that lie a couple months ago and also don’t let your mom come over when all of your roommates are home studying and you have to be like “what? oh yeah he’s just in the shower” when your real *girl* roommate is in there showering.

Just a hypothetical situation.

I didn’t get caught this time because I’m a genius at thinking on-the-spot, and also it’s kinda really funny now and I’m enjoying thinking about pretend situations, but I guess ummm… lesson learned?
