<p>I remember when I was in 6th grade a couple classmates of mine asking me if my dad was dead. I felt nervous and awkward and sort of giggled as I told them he was. The girls didn’t believe me. A couple days later I guess they realized when they asked someone else who said it was true.</p>
<p>Don’t assume he lied just because of a weird reaction. Things that people aren’t comfortable sharing can come out in weird ways.</p>
