Do you know one of him?

Sometimes the cast of characters people grew up with amazes me. Just the other day I thought of Ivan Kennedy, a kid my dad grew up with, and went with to school. My dad always used to say about Ivan Kennedy that he'd rather climb a tree and tell a lie, than stand on the ground and tell the truth. Do you know someone that dishonest? Not surprisingly, when I looked up where Ivan was now, he had been in prison.

I knew kids that preferred to lie back when... One neighbor told me that a plane was so crowded that they put him on the wing and he ate some of the clouds for dinner. We thought it was a lie at the time but didn't know for sure... He was the one I kept borrowing books from so I didn't want to mess that up so stayed quiet about it.

@sallypup Uhm... I'm older than him and I don't remember more than the names of Beaver, Wally and Eddie...

I don't doubt I have. A few so-called boyfriends I had in school, turned out to be quite violent.

Not sure, I think I did in school. One guy my dad used to play with when they were young became a teacher and ended up killing one of his students. My dad said he was just a regular little kid, nothing outstandingly negative about him or his family.

I don't know any personally like that. I know if any of us got caught lying, it boded ill for us. It's sad he ended up in prison.

I’ve known of a few who killed and I’m happy to say they’re safely locked away.

@RubyHawk Sometimes we find out things we never thought people capable of, come much more easily than we could have imagined.

In a strange way I’m relieved Ivan turned out to be “just” a liar and thief. From your response I realize it could have been worse!

@AmbiePam Yes, it certainly could have been worse. Years ago I knew a man who killed his wife because she was leaving him. I knew this couple well, and I could hardly believe he did it.

They specialize in creative interpretation of the truth. Unfortunately when something they say is true it is still taken to be a lie.

I was not surprised. With his attitude, he would have done many illegal acts. However, it is easier, to tell the truth because you don't have to remember everything you have said. I don't know anyone that dishonest,

Apparently he got caught stealing, and lied about it. Every time someone lies to me my dad’s saying about Ivan comes to mind.

You are wise not to put up with it. I once gave a person way too many chances, and it came back to bite me.

I don't think any of my school associates has ever been in prison. Maybe they just didn't tell anyone.

It was for one of those how could you be so stupid crimes. He stole something, got caught red handed, and lied about it. I think maybe he got six months.
