My bus was called and I was in a hurry. I had my assignment in my backpack. I ran out the door and went onto the bus but I did not know that I forgot my reading book. My babysitter picked my brother and me at the the bus stop. I called my Mom to tell her I got home and everybody did their homework. I looked in my book bag and did not have my reading book. After a while my Dad came and started to cook and after a while my Mom came home. She told me to do my home work and I said I did not have it in my back pack.: Gasmen Hairsten
I was honest when I forgot my homework at my old school. When my math teacher asked if I had my homework I said: ummm ... I think I left it at home. She said she needed a yes or no answer. Finally I said I forgot to do it.: Spike Pierce
I got a piece of gum and I didn't ask. So when my Mom asked where the gum was ... I said I ate it.: Jenny Crash
I was honest when I broke the glass cup when I dropped it. I told my Mom and Dad and they where a little mad but they still loved me. I told them that I was never going to break glass again because it's dangerous and maybe if I do it again I might get cut or hurt.: Bill Stoudamire
When I borrowed a toy I lost it on accident. My friend said it was ok because I told the truth and she said I have another one anyway.: Anne Penny
I was honest by telling the truth. I told the truth by saying I did it. I broke a plate last night and I was honest to my sister.: Jissie Bell
