She had learned to her cost that even when you do tell the truth grown-ups don't necessarily like to hear it. The truth can make people unhappy. She didn't know why this was, she only knew from experience that it was true. Her grandmother used to say, Least said, soonest mended. She would say the least, and it would be mended soonest. She tried not to think about the horrors of the night before.
