Noise: Swipe! Bop! Bop! Woman: Richard! Play nicely with Michael! Boy: He hit me first! Woman: I didn't see him hit you. Boy: Well, he did! Elly: Michael, did you hit Richard? Mike: No - it was a part! I patted him, that's all. Elly: Was it a hard pat? Mike: It was a medium pat. Maybe a strong medium pat. Sort of a hit... but, a soft hit. Elly: So, you DID hit him first! Mike: Mom, it was an accident! I didn't mean to touch him, but I did!! Woman: The kids seem happy now, Elly - why don't we just call it "case closed." Elly: OK. *sigh*... moms never seem to get to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
The truth is that most people can rarely ever really handle the whole truth.
