Note to teachers/parents;

   In this episode, Doug lied to Connie because he wanted to go to the dance with Patty. Suddenly he risked being exposed as a liar so he had to bring Porkchop, Skeeter, and Judy into it. Lies take on a life of themselves. Look at the athletes that have denied taking steroids. They have to keep lying over and over and eventually hurt their friends. Better to tell the truth the first time. It is hard because we are embarrassed. afraid, ashamed, etc. but all that shows we care more about what people think than what God thinks. God is the father of truth and satan is the father of lies. Anytime we lie it makes Satan happy. Do you want to make the devil happy or God. Well then, always tell the truth!
