Ghosts of Rathburn Park
“For once he had a really interesting story to tell, one that would be sure to get everybody’s attention without any embellishing, and he didn’t even bring it up during family sharing time. Family sharing was a few minutes right after dinner before anyone was allowed to leave the table, when everyone was supposed to take turns telling about their day. And embellishing was what Matt usually got accused of when it was his turn.
According to Justin, embellishment was just plain old lying, but it wa...sn’t really. To Matt’s way of thinking, it was just what you do when you have something to tell but not much, and you keep thinking of all the little extras that almost happened, and that would have made the whole thing a lot more exciting if they had. It wasn’t the same as lying because you weren’t trying to get out of trouble or fool anybody, or anything like that.
It was Mom who started calling it embellishing, and she agreed with Matt that it wasn’t quite the same as lying. But she also said he ought to stop doing it.MoreLess
