Lies Men and Women Tell….

Thursday Thirteen

This morning the announcers on my favorite local radio station were talking about the top ten lies that men and women tell their spouses, girlfriends and boyfriends. I thought the topic would make an interesting topic for my Thursday Thirteen.

Thirteen Lies Men and Women Tell

1. Both Women and Men: Nothing’s wrong. I’m fine.

2. Men: This will be my last drink.

3. Women: Oh, this isn’t new. I’ve had it for ages.

4. Men: Sorry, I missed your call.

5. Women: It was in the sale.

6. Men: I’m stuck in traffic.

7. Women: I’ve got a headache.

8. Men: I didn’t have that much to drink.

9. Women: It wasn’t that expensive.

10. Men: I’m on my way.

11. Women: I don’t know where it is, I haven’t touched it.

12. Women: No, I didn’t throw it away.

13. Men: No, your bum doesn’t look big in that.

Okay, I confess. Basically I’m a very honest person. I can’t lie to save myself, but I might have used a couple of these white lies in the past.

What about you? Have you used any of these white lies?

    My hubby is fond of the saying “Lies have short legs” – mainly because he’s absolute rubbish at telling lies. Lucky for me. :)

    Anthony – you’re probably right, but sometimes an honest opinion is okay. ;)

    Jennifer – thanks! I love the cover too. I think it’s very striking.

  16. Janice Seagraves

    When I say I have a headache, I really have a headache. My doctor said I have super sensitive sinuses.

    Er, after reading this list maybe I should have gotten that in writing? :eek:
