You decide to move to Step Two of your Get-Me-Out-Of-Trouble plan.
Step Two is the denial.
"I didn't do it!" you say. "It wasn't me, it was someone else!"
You declare your innocence loudly and repeatedly, but it doesn't work.
Everyone knows it was you.
Do you:
Admit that you've done the wrong thing, say sorry, and quietly accept the consequences,
OR
Move to Step Three of your Get-Me-Out-Of-Trouble plan?
