About This Quote

People do not exaggerate things. They don’t always tell the truth and so we shouldn’t assume they did when they exaggerate something. Yes, we all remember the one time we made a great catch in third grade, or when we got a really good grade on that math test, or when we won the spelling bee, but these are just examples of the many things that people exaggerate. An example of this would be when Ethan said, “the Twinkie on the bus.” When Ethan was in third grade he and his class were on a field trip and after lunch there was a Twinkie left in their bus.

You can imagine how much Ethan wanted to claim this as his own. We all know it didn’t happen like that. This is an example of an exaggeration.
