A Lesson I Learned in Life
Long time ago, I tried to cover my troubles away from my mom, so that I could avoid being yelled at.
When it was my 6th birthday, my family bought a birthday cake to celebrate. I loved whipping cream, and that cake was full of it, especially on the sides. Thinking that no one would ever notice, I used my small fingers, and wiped some whipping cream off. I licked it off my fingers immediately. The part that I took some cream off of was now smeared. My mom noticed, and asked if any of us took some cream off. I did not admit to it. I thought I succeeded.
Years later, my mom, sister, and I were watching old videos that my dad had filmed of us when we were young. Most of the videos were about our vacations in the United States. However, there was one about my 6th birthday. I did not remember what I did that day. Suddenly, I saw myself wiping whipping cream off the sides of the cake on the screen. My 6 year old self had a look of guilt, looking around making sure no one saw this action. Yet, I forgot the camera on the tripod was filming me the whole time. Of course, I did not get in trouble, and we laughed about it. However I learned a lesson from this experience.
The lesson is that secrets cannot stay hidden forever, and it is better to be honest than to hide it.
