DUE WED 3/14 - Personal Reflection (Plato)

I wasn't in class for this discussion, well I'm actually not sure if this was an in class discussion, but the question interested me so i decided to write about my feelings...because this is a blog.

Recall a time that you heard a statement of “fact” that was later found to be untrue. It can be from a parent, a teacher, a friend, a government official, a book, or a film. How did you find out it was untrue and how did it make you feel? Did it change your outlook on anything?

One time i went to my grandpa and grandmas house, and as i pulled into the drive way i noticed my grandmas car was dented on one side. So i was got worried, i thought my grandma had been in a crash. So i ran inside to ask my grandma what happened, but i saw my grandpa before her. I asked him what had happened and he said she backed into a wall or pole or something like that. After he told me i asked if she was okay, and he said yes. So, after my grandpa had told me what happened i was just like okay im glad my grandma isnt hurt. A couple days later i was talking to my grandma and i told her i was all concerned about her getting hurt from the crash. Then i asked her where she ran into the wall, and she said, no i didnt run into a wall your grandpa was back out of the drive way and forgot to take the car out of reverse.

When i found out what really happened, i wasnt mad just annoyed. Because why would my grandpa not tell me that HE did it and it wasnt just an accident. Well obviously he didn't crash into her car intentionally but it was just frustrating because he felt embarrassed to tell me that he didn't. That is something that bugs me, when people lie about little mistakes. Theres nothing wrong with making mistakes because everyone does it.
