#39: Family Matters
This anonymous confession is a cringe-worthy tale of the unintended consequences of a game of truth or dare. While attending a friend's gathering, the girl in question accepted the challenge to make out with the pizza delivery guy. Despite it being a fun dare at the time, it quickly turned awkward when she discovered that the pizza guy was actually her cousin's boyfriend. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the guy was participating in such questionable behavior while in a committed relationship.
The girl's predicament is relatable and understandable. Living in a small town can make it difficult to avoid people, and the awkwardness of encountering her cousin's boyfriend at future family functions is undoubtedly overwhelming. The suggestion of feigning sickness to avoid family dinners speaks to the discomfort and embarrassment that the situation has caused. It's a reminder of the importance of being mindful of the consequences of our actions and the impact they can have on those around us.
