You’ll hear from me first thing Monday.
We’re in your neighborhood working and we’d like to give you a free estimate.
It’s all your fault.
No child will be left behind.
Drinking in moderation is good for you.
The kids are asleep.
It’s educational.
When it’s gone, it’s gone.
Only this once, I promise.
I’ll eat the leftovers.
I can’t live without you.
You forced my hand.
I understand.
I can’t take it a minute longer.
Guaranteed to keep the weight off.
I had no choice.
The world will never be the same.
Regulation destroys innovation.
We’re fighting for their freedom.
That’s why Canadians come here.
We will never sell your email address.
Limited time only.
We know you have a choice of carriers, and we thank you for choosing to fly with us.
I never go on Facebook.
Oh! And another one: I’m finished.
What about you? What do you know to be untrue?

None of it is your fault.
If a little's good, a lot's better.
Whatever you want, dear.

"i don't know."
(really, that was my first thought… then i realized how UNtrue it was!)
Comment by Terri Fischer — October 20, 2009 @ 5:18 am
"Thank you for holding. We appreciate your call…"
"Leakproof diapers."
"Better than viagra"
"You've just won the Million Dollar Sweepstakes!" (Still holding out hope for this one, but fearing, yes, it might just be untrue…)

'I don't have time for practice today'.

Babies sleep through the night.
You shouldn't co-sleep.
You should co-sleep.
You should nurse.
You should stop nursing.
You should decide what to do with your baby.
You should stick to what you already decided.
That baby will never have a valuable life because of her diagnosis.
She will be a burden to you and your family.

Don't worry, I've got your back.
I'll do it tomorrow.
She'll get over it.
Big girls don't cry.

This won't hurt a bit.
We're nearly there.
It's nearly over.
You'll get used it.

There's no reason to be afraid.
Comment by Nancy — October 21, 2009 @ 1:27 am
Wow! I'm so impressed. We should publish all these lies and they would be called The Truth.
Comment by Karen Maezen Miller — October 21, 2009 @ 2:09 am
Just one more time, mom.
It wasn't me!
You won't know the difference.
It's not you, it's me.
Guaranteed.
No Obligation.

I don't care.
It doesn't matter to me.

"She didn't mean anything to me."
Comment by Kristin H. — October 23, 2009 @ 12:23 pm
"I never ___" (fill in the blank).
"It's not your fault, it's mine."
"This has never happened before."(erectile dysfunction or quickness)
What a great post! One of your readers sent me to your site because I wrote a post called "I Know a No in Disguise" that she felt was hitting the same points.
