That's Life - When is a lie a white lie?
Monday, March 9, 2009 at 8:45PM
If you put "1 bowl of ice cream" in your Diet Diary when in fact you ate the whole pint of Chunky Monkey, is that a white lie?
If you block out your schedule with a recurring private meeting every Monday morning before 10am because you just can't face work before then, is that a white lie?
If you tell your husband you're looking up a recipe online when in fact you are ordering shoes you don't need from Nordstrom, is that a white lie?
If you tell your boss your dog is sick and you need a day to take him to the vet just because you're tired and it's cold and you need a day off, is that a white lie?
If you tell a woman at the dog park that her little ratty pooch is cute when it has a facial expression that can only have been formed by it repeatedly chasing parked cars, is that a white lie?
If you tell a friend her white-trash-shopping-channel earrings frame her face beautifully, is that a white lie?
Or are these the kinds of lies that get you sent round the board, do not pass begin, do not collect $200, straight to hell?
