Pretending to be asleep can get people out of a lot of trouble. I used to feign slumber in the car to get out of climbing the stairs of our home and going to bed. I’m not sure which came first, my dad being unwilling to carry more or catching on to the ruse, but those days didn’t last terribly long. This weekend, the internet learned that it’s not only humans who turn to acting (lying) when faced with an undesirable situation. Apparently, horses will do this, too. At least that’s what one clout-hungry Twitter user led people to believe with a viral tweet this weekend.
