Honesty is the Best Policy

Do you ever just screw up? And then think, "Why couldn't I have just told the truth? Now I feel ashamed and stupid and guilty." I know I'm tehnically a "grown-up", but times like that (this) make me feel like a little kid again. The worst part is knowing that there's nothing you can do to take it back. Then again, maybe it's a lesson in how not to screw up next time. But there's always a next time.
