Homonym: LIE
“After a long hike, I decided to lie down on the grass and rest. As I watched the clouds drift by, I thought about the time my little brother told a lie about breaking Mom’s vase. He didn’t mean to, but the guilt made him sick. Later that evening, we sat together and promised never to lie again—except when lying down for a good nap. Funny how one word can mean both relaxing and being dishonest. I guess the truth is, everyone needs to lie sometimes—just preferably on a soft pillow.”
