Chewing gum leads to lies.

Today my teacher was on a rampage. a gummy sticky under-the-table rampage.
She took up the ENTIRE white-board today to write about how chewing gum in class was COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!
My friend got caught chewing gum. she got detention.
i was chewing gum, as well. but i hid it.
my friend was REALLY MAD. she called the teacher over and said "TEACHER!! SHE IS CHEWING GUM TOO!!!"
so i quickly swallowed my gum just as my teacher was coming over.
"You have gum?" said the teacher, with eyes of evil.
"No," i began, "I was only running my tongue over my braces and messing with my braces. i can see how you would think i was chewing gum, but i wasn't. its just because i JUST got braces and they really hurt, so i was messing around with my mouth. not chewing gum. because, you cant chew gum with braces."
My teacher gave me a look of sympathy.
I've had my braces for two months. they don't hurt anymore. but its not like my teacher knew that.
my friend got double detention for lying.

Have you ever gotten away with something like that?
doesn't it feel just AWESOME?
