Today Ved and I did not have out small tiffin in the small break. Instead, we went around the class collecting bits of everyone's small tiffin and got it all to Ved's desk. There, we opened Ved's tiffin and loaded all the other food items into his tiffin. There were chakli, almonds, cheese, bread-chutney, paratha, etc.
At that time the tiffin looked very tasty and inviting. We shut it thinking we were going to enjoy it during out van ride home. However, when we opened the tiffin in the van, the food inside had become all soggy and did not taste nice. Hence we did not have any of it.
In the process, I did not even open my small tiffin full of mango pieces. Since I didn't want to tell this to Mummy-Papa, I first told them that the mango pieces were very sour and hence I didn't have them. Mummy was very upset with me for this.
When Papa said - "NO mangoes for Keshav for the next 2-3 days", my heart sank. However, I had to keep my mouth shut or else Papa would have discovered the truth. However, Papa then asked how I figured the mangoes were sour? Did I try even one piece? To which I promptly replied that I licked one of the pieces and it was sour.
By then Mummy had caught on. She realised that the tiffin was too difficult for me to shut on my own and that it normally came back open. That's when Papa cornered me and made me admit that I had not even opened my tiffin.
Papa wasn't happy about my lying and made me write 5 times - "I will not lie".
