I done a bad thing is it normal to hide the truth?

I scratched up my mom's car on a parking garage column and she doesn't know I drove it. She thinks someone did it while she was parked. Should I just leave it at that?

Is It Normal?

    It is OK to not tell your Mom and get away without getting caught. Just as long as when the same thing happens to you, you just smile and say "that's Karma" and do nothing about it. After all when you spend tons of money on a car of your own, and other people bang it up, it is OK because they just wanted to get away with it too.

    If it bothers you, then tell her and hope for the best.

    Honesty is the best policy. A lie isn't worth walking around with a guilty conscious.

      I feel bad about it but I'd rather have her be angry at an unknown person than at me.

        Being honest can be a very frightening thing I agree. But the truth comes out eventually and I had to learn that the hard way several times over. It is best just to be up front and honest. Yes she will be upset with you at first but that will subdue after a bit of time and you won't have to walk around with the weight of your lie.

    Normal... Unless there were witnesses who know you, never admit it...

    If you don't want to be honest , mail money for the damages she has to pay . Then you are at least taking responsibility and no harm has been done . This in my mind is sufficient , if you cant afford the cost you should be taking on the consequences but of course the best course of action in a perfect world is you to come forward and offer to pay .

    That's nothing compared to what I did to my moms Honda.

    "I done a bad thing..."

    I couldn't help but read that like Forrest Gump.

    Ya I wouldn't say anything. You can't un-scratch it, so as long as no one else is getting in trouble why should you?

    i don't get why honesty is the best policy. is it because it increases trust? so does lying. i actually want scientific proof because every time I've been honest when i do bad things, i get even more into trouble. ask yourself, will you be better off this way or better off if you tell her. FUCK GUILT!

    i would advise you to forget about it, it's not even a big deal and you already lied to her. if you do tell her, she'll not trust you with the car again, or will blame you the next time it gets a scratch.
