Artistic License?

I am constantly amazed by how much NT’s bend the truth. There have been so many times when have heard the re-telling of an event, which I have myself witnessed, only to find that the details have been altered. It is not an outright lie, it has just been altered a little (or a lot, depending upon who is telling it). If I don’t believe that a story is entertaining enough for general consumption, I will keep it to myself. I just cannot bring myself to lie about things, even little things. It makes me highly uncomfortable. The worst perpetrator seems to be my younger sister, who habitually over-exaggerates, and this actually leads to a lot of conflict between us as if she does this in front of me, then I cannot stand by and let it happen. I know that my correcting her is a little OCD, but from a moral standpoint, it is absolutely right to do so; even if it is not encouraged in certain social situations. I guess that it is something that I will never fully understand…
