How Do I Prove i'm telling the truth?

Question

on Sunday my mother bought 4 croissants and two cinnamon whirls to share between me and my brother.

i was ill on Monday, and in the morning as my mother left the house she told me there was some food in the oven. I opened the oven and found one cinnamon whirl and two croissant. i ate the croissants and ate the whirl later on. My brother came home and looked in the oven and asked me where the whirl had gone, i told him i ate it. He said i was a dog. i had tried to explain to him but he did not listen and told my mother that i ate two whirls. i amm 100% sure i didn't eat both. but i have no hard proof. Today my mother bought two whirls and gave them both to my brother whilst i wass in school. i know it is only food but i am in tears knowing that she thinks i would eat my brothers food. She had told him to keep it a secret but he told me. i asked her weather she ate the whirl or not. she said no. so everything comes back to me.

Help, how do i prove i did not eat the whirl?
- no mean comments, it really means a lot to me; everyone thinks i'm a liar.

Answer 1

You can't prove it. Your mother sounds like an unjust person, but you will have to live with this until you're old enough to move. I have a daughter who is generally honest. I will believe her until proved wrong, because she has a strong sense of justice and does not like to be unjustly accused of anything. I also know her character well enough to give her the benefit of the doubt. Because I trust her, she's able to be honest with me. It would be a big deal to her, too, and because I love her and support her, I believe her. It sounds like your mother isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but put it behind you and plan to move when you're 18. Your brother sounds like a real prince, too.



I also know that there are going to be howlers who believe that I'm stupid for believing my kid, but every parent should know their own kid well enough to judge for themselves. If you go by generalities (every kid lies, etc.) then I'm sorry for you AND your kids.

Answer 2

Let is slide.



At some point in the past (either in this life or in a previous life), you have lied. And what happened with the whirls is only the karma for lieing being expressed. That particular seed of karma has been harvested and will not bother you again.



But there may be more that you have created, that will seek their own expression at some point. Therefore, make sure you are honest from here on in, so you don't add to the pile of karmic seeds.

Answer 3

Forgive and forget, no use arguing over some whirls ;)



You can either move on and not hurt your relationships with your Mother and brother or (the unwise choice) argure, fight and probably destroy.



Then again you said you was not sure if you ate it so... you should just let it go.

Answer 4

Honestly, If she doesn't believe you then shes just not going to believe you. Put a smile on your face and just let it go because all that matters is that you know you aren't lying.

Answer 5

That is a minor incident that everyone will forget about in a couple of days.

Answer 6

Buy your own swirls and then you can eat as many as you want.

Answer 7

Just be quite. If you panic, he'll think you are lying.

Answer 8

Seriously. Get over it.



You are crying over pastries. Please grow a pair.
