God's favorite color John was the kind of guy who never lies, if you asked him anything he just answered straight at the point without any consideration. After all, the truth is the truth! Sometimes John got in really trouble because he just couldn’t lie. Once, he almost finished his marriage because he answered yes when his wife asked him if she was fat. Even so, he thought that it is better to answer a difficult truth than an easy lie! It’s always been like that until john had a son who loves ask him all kind of questions... The first lie that john told happened in a sunny day when he went home from work early because he got fired. When he arrived home his son jumped in his lap and asked him why the sky is blue. John was so tired and upset that the easy answer jumped to his mouth without any thinking: because blue is God’s favorite color. As soon as John realized that he lied to his son, he got really sad and tried to find an excuse to what he did. He kept thinking… how can I explain to a really little person that the sky is blue because of the light spectrum? It is just impossible! Unless I want to explain him what is light spectrum... Well, no matter how much he tried to find an excuse for his lie, he couldn’t, even worst… he couldn’t apologize himself. After a lot of days of sadness, he decided that it is fine to lie just once in his life and then his wife asked him again if she was fat…Well… good luck dear John…

God's favorite color

John was the kind of guy who never lies(lied), if you asked him anything he just answered straight at the
point without any consideration. After all, the truth is the truth!

Sometimes John got in really? trouble because he just couldn’t lie. Once, he almost finished his
marriage
 (made an end to his marriage), because he answered "yes" when his wife asked him if she was fat. Even so, he thought
that it is(was) better to answer a difficult truth than an easy lie!

It’s always been like that until john had a son who loves(loved to) ask him all kind of questions...

The first lie that john told happened in a sunny day when he went home from work early because
he got fired. When he arrived home his son jumped in(on??)  his lap and asked him why the sky is(was) blue.
John was so tired and upset that the easy answer jumped to his mouth without any thinking:
because blue is God’s favorite color.

As soon as John realized that he lied to his son, he got really sad and tried to find an excuse to
what he did. He kept thinking… "how can I explain to a really little person that the sky is blue?
because of the light spectrum? It is just impossible! Unless I want to explain him what is light
spectrum
(what light spectrum is)..."

Well, no matter how much he tried to find an excuse for his lie, he couldn’t, even worst… he
couldn’t apologize himself.

After a lot of days of sadness, he decided that it is(was) fine to lie just once in his life and then his wife
asked him again if she was fat…Well… good luck dear John…
