Vice President Joe Biden appears to temporarily lose his mind during President Barack Obama's "jobs" speech to Congress, September 8, 2011. Actually, he was licking his lips due to dry mouth.
A Lie
I was playing with a baseball I’d found in my front yard when two older boys walked up to me.
One of them said, “That’s my baseball. I hit it over here all the way from the park.”
The park was about three miles away, but I was seven years old and I believed him. I gave him the baseball. The two boys walked away laughing.
Lying in bed that night, thinking over the events of the day, I realized those boys were laughing because they had told me a lie and I believed them. They were laughing at me.
I decided I wouldn't be so stupid next time. Despite my decision, so many years later, I’m still surprised how skillfully people can lie.
