A Web of Lies, A Dinner of Drama, and A Husband’s Unsympathetic Laughter
In a whirlwind of family drama, Mrs. Storyteller’s fabricated tale of her in-laws’ separation came crashing down at a family dinner, leaving her mortified and in tears. But the real kicker? Her husband, Mr. No-Sympathy, couldn’t help but laugh at the situation. He later told her that he felt bad for her embarrassment, but that was the risk she took when she lied.
