I blogged last week about DH's kid (D/15 y/o) telling him she a head injury that required an ER visit last week. Between his kid and Uberskank, the story was so bizarre and full of holes that it left him feeling like they were trying to pull another stunt on him. When she tried to convince him she was well enough to travel to our house and see him, he backed up Uberskank and said he would be more comfortable if she didn't travel and rested at home over the weekend.

We ended up driving out and taking her to lunch on Sunday. On the way there DH started hatching this plan to poke holes in her story and get her to really explain what happened. HUGE SIGH FROM SHAMAN29. I turned to him and said.....

"Look DH. You know and I know she's lying about this whole thing. What are you really trying to accomplish here? If you drill her at lunch, you're going to force her to lie to you again. Which will just piss you off and ruin the visit. Why not just play along, play concerned Dad and let it go. If she tries to bring it up, acknowledge her concerns, make sure she's fine and CHANGE THE SUBJECT. Trust me....if you both continue this farce you're just going to get disgusted with her lying and distance yourself from her again. Let it GO."

Shock to me.....he listened to my advice. We had a nice lunch and after making sure she was okay, he changed the subject every time she brought it up. She seemed hell bent on explaining herself to us, which further convinced us she made up the symptoms to get out of school. We think her lies just went too far but they're going to cost Uberskank a pretty penny in ER and CT scan costs.

Side note....the kid let it slip that Uberskank took away her cellphone until that morning. I said to DH.....taking a cell away from a teenage girl these days is a huge punishment. How would you like to wager Uber figured out the kid was lying.
