Confessing To Buddha

I confess. I told a lie. Last night I was taking pictures in Whole Foods, and a young man came running up to me, waving his arms and saying, "You can't take pictures in Whole Foods! We don't allow it!"

Well. I've been taking pictures inside Whole Foods for some time.

I said to him, "Oh? I was fascinated with this. What is it?" "A Buddha's Hand," he said, so I asked him more about this grotesque fruit, nodding in fascination, not telling him I knew all about this odd member of the citrus family.

Do they have confession in Buddhism? Tell it to the hand.
