Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I told two small lies today in Casco Viejo, the old part of Ciudad de Panama.
The first lie involved an old man eating strawberry ice-cream in pink shoes at a street corner. I told that man that the photo I was taking was only of the signs above him, and that I was not trying to take a picture of him (in his girly shoes).
The second untruth I told today involved my feet, when I told a man in the street that had enquired after my big toes that yes, I had indeed had two recent accidents, rather than having to explain the real reason I walk about with two plasters on my toes whenever I am wearing sandals.
Amen.
