I lied about being busy to get out of a family barbecue at the home of a cousin I do not like, and wouldn't you know it, my cousin Alpa saw me at the mall, where she was also avoiding the same event. Now she is telling everyone she saw me shopping while she was working which was the lie she told, since she was surrounded by twenty boxes of shoes at the DSW, and not at the cosmetic counter at Clarins. Should I combat this lie with another one?

Dear Looking,
Lying doesn't work unless you are bald faced about it. Sounds like your face has some hair. So tell the truth to whoever asks, and let the rest go. People will forgive you, they have to, you're family. If they don't then there's nothing you can do. And the question you didn't ask, but should have, is why you lied in the first place.
God bless, Donna
PS- You might be surprised at how little people care.
