My Mother's Blind Faith in a Lie Collar Broke Me

Summary

Since I can remember, I have been a liar. That is the conclusion my mother made about me.

After my twin brother, Daniel Benson, and I are born, she becomes obsessed with a so-called scientific parenting method.

So, she puts a lie-detecting collar on each of us. Whenever we lie, the collar lights up in red.

The moment it turns red, she presses a remote and shocks me. She says it will help form muscle memory to correct the bad character in me.

Daniel's collar is always green.
