What’s a lie you told that just kept getting bigger?

When I was in about 1st or 2nd grade, I shoved a pretty big clothing button up my nose and it got stuck. I had just came home from a friends house and decided to blame the situation on my friend. My dad is very loving but has a short fuze. I was afraid of how he would behave towards me if I told him of my stupid actions. So my dad tried removing the button with tweezers and could not do so. He was furious and called my friend’s father to have the kid punished. Mid call I told my dad the truth. My dad apologized to my friend’s father and then I got punished. We ended up going to the hospital to have the button removed. The doctors somehow never found the button. My stupidity was never cured. I like to think the button is still sitting somewhere in my noggin
