But, people think these jokes come from me and they actually don’t.

Dear Fonseca,
I'm 12 years-old and listen to your show every weekend. I caught my mom cheating on her diet. She lied to my dad about it. I don't know if I should tell him or not. My parents have always taught me to do the right thing so I feel like I should say something, but I'm not sure. What should I do?
