I flooded my family's kitchen a couple of weeks ago and I'm still confused as to how I got away with it.
Are you concerned about possible consequences of what you did?
Yes, I am. I really ruined the floor.
The ruined floor could have consequences for the house, its value, and the health of everyone living there. You should be honest and more careful, and you should try to fix the ruined floor.
Oh I'm going to. I'm going to make it up to the people I love by taking them on a vacation.
You should also confess that you're the one who flooded the kitchen. They would appreciate you being honest and paying for damages more than taking them out on vacation.
