I've been thinking about it, and I've come to realize that lying isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes a secret is used to protect you, or someone else. I kept the box of Momma's stuff from T. Ray, he probably would have thrown it out if he'd known I'd had it, and then I never would have read the address on the back of Momma's picture and made my way to Tiburon. Like wise, I had to tell that lie to August, she might not have let me stay if she knew that I'd runaway from home and helped Rosaleen run from the law.
At the Boatwright house we also try to keep bad things that happen a secret from May, otherwise they'd hurt her.
So I've come to the conclusion that not all secrets are bad, and that sometimes, lying is necessary.
