[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]So let's balance out the other thread.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I have a consistent lie that I use on my parents and family: Everything's fine! [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Regardless of whether it is or not, they get the same answer. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I told my sister I liked her new hair color when it really looked terrible.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I've told guys in bars that I have a boyfriend.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I've told teachers that I left my homework at home.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I've told friends I'm not seeing someone when I really am.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]What lies have you told others?[/FONT]

The second? More along the lines of, "Yeah, you want to leave? I'm not bothered."

I rarely lie but I do tolerate others and usually just smile.

I cooked that from scratch.
Your hair looks great.
Muscles and tattoos do nothing for me, it's all about personality and intelligence.
I don't care what you think.
I really do care what you think.

At the age of 16 all girls go to have a Fartectomy. This is why women don't fart. After the operation they give you a cork and a little silver hammer to make sure it fits nice and snug
Mummy and Daddy are really HyperDad and WonderMum and when you're asleep we fight crime

* It wasn't me.
* I liked it.
* I hated it.
* Don't be daft, 'course I'm straight. (I'm bisexual, but I have phobic "friends")
* Yes, you're boyfriend/girlfriend is lovely.
* No, I'm not jealous.
* I'm fine! It's only a flesh wound!
* They're not mine, I'm looking after them for a friend. I don't even smoke. (Ah, to be 15 again. Wait, screw that.)
* No, I don't fancy you.
