<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1768152, member: 31533"]My point is he doesn't need to have a little brother, it's just a whole heck of a lot more fun to lie if you make the lie worthwhile. His lie about him 'making a mistake' is simply trying to allow himself the luxury of getting the adult membership (which now may enable him to put in for some sort of internship) --- which seems to be now in his best interest, since that email is saying it's possible he would qualify for it --- without admitting <u>he has no scruples</u> in getting a membership rate he doesn't qualify for. Again he places the blame on a 'mistake' rather than his intentional desire to be dishonest in getting the membership in the first place. So....if you are going to lie, why not be a 'better' person about lying, don't blame the ubiquitous 'mistake', direct it totally away from you. Makes a better story.</p><p> </p><p>But, I think that this 'honesty' move right now is not 'honesty', but trying to change his position to get something else.
