Embarrassing Moment
It’s never a good idea to lie to your managers unless it has no consequences. This man told his manager that he had to leave work to go get his kid. The conversation should have ended at that, but the nosy manager was nervy enough to ask what had happened.
In this situation, it would have been fine for the employee to tell him, manager, that his child caught a cold if he wanted to keep his family business to himself. Instead, he told the manager the truth which not only embarrassed him but also caused him to catch a little bit of an attitude.
