What was the last lie you told? (Lighthearted)

Mine was this morning - really trivial - my husband and I had an early night last night as I had a bad headache. About half an hour after going to bed, I heard his mobile ringing downstairs. He was asleep. I decided to ignore it as I didn't want the palaver of him starting a conversation just when I was nodding off (we are middle-aged landline users so if it had been anything important they'd have rung back on the landline).

This morning my husband remarked 'Oh, (random friend) rang me last night, and I pretended this was news to me, simply because I couldn't be bothered with the longer explanation that I'd heard but ignored the call.

What was the last lie you told, however trivial and inconsequential?

I told my OH the prawn curry he made last night was delicious....
It wasn’t. It was ok at best.
But....he is a very good cook (usually) and he loves cooking and I just didn’t want to hurt his feelings!

That I was sorry to hear that my collesge has given her notice. I'm not that sorry to hear it.

Oh, yes, I always say 'it's lovely' when my OH cooks anything! He's quite a good cook, but has some failures as we all do.

"I love to listen to you talk about Minecraft." Grin I can hear that being said through gritted teeth!

"I'm fine". I'm not fine. It's my birthday and no one has given a fuck. I'm actually very hurt. 😔

Either ‘yes I want to see what you’ve done in your game’ to Dd playing some pointless mind numbing lego friends game that gives her an American accent or
‘No worries’ to oh cooking lunch and he cocked it up. I appreciate that he tried and I didn’t want to hurt his feelings....
