What is the biggest lie you ever told? And did you regret it afterwards?

What is the biggest lie you ever told, and did you regret it? I think we all have done a bit of that wether it is big or small. I wonder if we do it to protect ourselves? I have done it in the past so it wouldnt hurt others, but knew at that time it could backfire and hurt someone even more. Raising kids has certainly put a new element into the little white lies that somehow come out in converstaion. An example? This weekend at church, someone asked why we left early....I didnt wan to lie, but I didnt want to be real honest either. It would have hurt the music ministry team. I was having a hard time enjoying it becuase it was so loud. They are are youth at our church, and they were doing the worship, so, I didnt want to discouraged them or hurt them, but I had to leave.I just said I had to be somewhere....wich..was home! Ooops. What have you said or done? Do you regret it? Do you have kids listening?
