‘Hey, keep this a secret but Grandad just told me he’s going to give me his Faberge egg.’
‘What?!? He told me I was getting it, not an hour ago.’
And just like that your word is shot.
It’s the boy who cried wolf.
It’s taking everything you say with a vat of salt.
We’ll nod along but it’s all going in one ear and out the other.
It might seem harmless to tell everyone what they want to hear but it can take an eternity to earn back trust.
