Fun Monday: Sweet Little Lies

Today's Fun Monday is hard and is being hosted by Theotherbear and Uncaringbear. They asked us to:

Share with us a little white lie that you may, or may not, have gotten away with. Perhaps it's something more sinister than a little white lie - maybe even a deep dark secret that you've kept buried for years! All the better! Now's your chance to get it off your chest and confess: "Yes, I did eat that last slice of cheese cake", "No, I wasn't washing my hair that Saturday", "Those pants do make you look fat"!

I have had the hardest time trying to think of a lie. When I told my BFF to go check out the assignment I then asked her," How the HELL am I drawing a blank???" My bestest friend in the whole wide world said,"Because once you create a lie it becomes the truth. How can you remember it when you begin to believe it!" I immediately told her to,"SHUT UP!" I know that she was just pullin' my chain but she is right and oh so wise and sage-like!!

I know I lied LOADS as a child and as a teenager...and as a young adult. All harmless lies.
Like when my kids ask me if there are any more Ice cream sandwiches I say "No."When I was 16 and 17 I would lie and say I was 18 to get into clubs and then once I was 18 I'd lie and say I was 21 to get in and drink. Or like when I was single and out at bars and was asked to dance I'd say "No, thank you. I am waiting for my boyfriend." Or if I was talking to a guy and was asked if I was seeing anyone I'd say "YES." when I really wasn't. I even went so far as to wear an engagement ring to the clubs in hopes to ward off men. Whoa! I was totally full of myself... oh wait I still am! Go check out the post below this one! Self love baby!! Who said I was modest?

I am really good at the truth when its not really the truth but it is the truth. Like when people use to ask me where I worked I would say "I work at a bar." which was totally true!!! Or when I would come home as a teenager after a night of partying sometimes my Mom would be sitting up waiting for me and she would ask if I had been drinking. I could truthfully say "No."!

When it comes to someone wanting my opinion...I can not tell a lie there. I will tell you if the jeans make you look fat. I will tell you your new haircut looks hideous. I will tell you that shade of lipstick is not your color. Only if those things are true in my opinion. But I will not offer up what I think if I am not asked. Don't ask I won't tell! So if I give you a compliment then you know beyond a shadow of doubt that I am sincere!

Now if you want to talk secrets....I have LOADS of those. I guess they aren't really secrets due to a few ppl knowing about what happened either by being there or by my re-telling. Yesterday my mom and I were talking about a neighbor having a B-day sleep over for her son. She said "I could never have more than one over for you." I called BS "I know of at least one B-day slumber party you had for me that had at least 4 other girls besides me. I remember drinking shots of Peppermint Schnapps in dixie cups." My Mom promptly said my FULL name in shock and horror!!! I said "What??? It's not like I lied about anything." I really thought I had already shared that with her.Oops! Neither Fianna, my Mom, nor myself can remember which B-day that was for certain. I'm really thinking it was 10. I have tons of those kinds of "secrets" they aren't lies and I guess not really secrets and not lies of omission either. So what are they called??

I am feeling like a very bad bad girl. I am going to go read my self love meme to feel better again. If you want to go check out other lies or those that are too good to lie like WT(yeah right!) those too uncomfortable to talk about lies (sorry WT!) then head over to the Bear's cottage.
