Lies

Recently, I have been thinking about the people that I lie to the most. Right now it is a tie between my orthodontist and my dermatologist.

• "Yes, I wear my headgear for the full 12 hours everyday."
• "I never ate popcorn or drank soda when I had my braces on." 
• "I wear my Pre-Finisher for more than the required amount of time."
• "I always wear my elastics, except for when I eat of course."
• "Yes, I promise I will wear my new retainer everyday."
• "Yes, I'll have Mom call to make an appointment."

Or...

• "I promise I put sunscreen on everytime I go outside."
• "No, I do not scratch at my scabs."
• "This peeling skin on my forehead is from dry skin, it's not a sunburn."
• "I promise that I check all of the spots on my skin every day."
• "I promise I take the nasty pill twice daily, as prescribed."
• "I use the nasty smelling cream everyday, as also prescribed."
• "I always wear a hat/visor when I go outside."
• "Yes, I use shaving cream everytime I shave." 

All lies. I am a terrible person.
