So today I started reading about how men are big fat liars.

The book: 101 Lies Men Tell Women (and why women believe them).

As I was reading through the introduction and first chapter I thought of two things 1. I don't think Husband has ever lied to me. Or, to rephrase, I have never caught Husband in a lie. Not a flat out lie where I can say "hey, you LIED about that, why did you LIE?" I tried to think about a time when he at least told a HALF truth, but couldn't think of that either. Whereby I came to the conclusion that Husband does that "lie by omission" thing my mother used to bug me about in high school. "You lie by omission" she would say. "NOT telling me something and just AVOIDING it, is also a lie, especially if it's something important." I can think of a few instances where it felt like a lie of omission but really, as Husband explains it's really a "I didn't think it was important" OR "I just forgot."

Did he?! DID HE?! The book makes me want to ask him a million questions, we all know how much he'd love that.

Second, I thought about me and my lies. Yes I lie (if you think you don't lie then you must be part of Husband's secret cult society of people). Shall we go through a quick list of the lies we told today?

Let me think...

1. I told this lady on the phone that I was packing up to leave this weekend. This was a lie. I was actually packing up my parents to leave this weekend, but it felt like an easier way of explaining why I hadn't called her back.

2. I told my brother I couldn't remember the melody to this song that he was singing. That was a lie, I could, but I can't sing, so singing it to him would have required a lot of embarassing out of tune-ness.

3. I told husband the reason why I hadn't paid the car payment yet was because I hadn't been able to get on the internet when I had been on the internet but was more interested in writing about SEX in a small town.

Speaking of which...
