Go find a quiet place and call her back immediately. If there still is some background noise...say either the tv is on or your friends parents have guests over. Odds are though, most parents unless their seriously over protective won't call you during the evening. Just make sure you give your mother an explanation before you leave. Like you're going to be at your friends house watching a movie or working on a project. If you mention school, odds are your parents won't want to interupt.

icey0990 answered Monday December 27 2004, 11:12 am: Do you mean she calls your friends house and your friends mom said you werent there..and she calls your cell? Well if that were the case..say you and your friend were out walking,biking, etc or say you went to your friends neighbors house..which is your friend also. Tell your mom you were just about to call her and say sorry you forgot..or you can say you and your friend went to catch a movie and you forgot to call..but be careful..you cant keep using the excuse " i forgot to call" Lying to your mom about where you are does work if your careful, but dont overuse the same excuse that "o i forgot to call," Moms do catch on..and the same thing happened to my friend..only she got caught. So be careful

Karen answered Monday December 27 2004, 11:12 am: I don't think it's a good idea to lie to your mom because if she finds out that you did, you can get in trouble. Well if you want to take the risk and lie to her, just tell her that your busy playing a game or watching a movie and you can't talk and you have to go. Sounds corny, I know. Just don't lie and just tell your mom the truth. She might let you go. Hope I helped :)

TooHotT2HanDle answered Monday December 27 2004, 10:42 am: well theres no reason you should have to lie to her at all, if you have to lie then what you are doing and where you are going are things and places you shouldnt be involved with! but if you really cant tell your mother do yourself a favor and show maturity by calling her first and checking in.. that way you show her you understand her concern, and it may save you from making up a lame excuse on the spot at a time when you really dont want her inturrupting you!
Hope that helped!

but actually, honesty is the best policy, and if you don't want to tell your mother what your doing, is it really right to be doing it?
