The Iron Casket of Honesty

frustratedpilotMy mother listened to this episode of Radio Lab while I was out of the house yesterday, and had to tell me all about it when I returned. The part about how brain matter itself differs between the pathological liars and everybody else was very interesting to her. The way she told me about it, she said she recognized that I must have had the development of my gray cells overwhelm the development of my white cells early on in childhood, and that's why I'm so horribly honest and have real problems with dishonesty and guessing games. And probably why I'd get so angry at anybody who had the gall to put me on.
It's a shame I learned about that so late. Man, what if those twerps who gave me the run through in High School figured out that I was wired to say what I meant? What would they have done? I mean, the whole point of them investigating me was because they thought I had something to hide, and I couldn't prove I didn't!
I'm having a real problem with that right here and now.
It's hard enough to absolve myself. I doubt I could ever absolve them.
