Lie to me!!

Sometimes after u been with somebody for a while. the stories get kinda stale. U start hearing the same childhood stories she told u before about her mother and u just have to grin and bear it.

Don't get me wrong. As a guy, I have less stories on MY rotation so I am sure my girl has had to weather thru the same " the day I became a real Man" story 11- 120 times.

That aside, the answers to "How was your day?" are the issue here. After 2-3 years of hearing "fine" or "ok" or " great" start to get on your nerves.

Wifey comes home from the grocery stores and all she has in her story basket is some chick mistaken our baby girl for a guy. That is it.
I asked " what did you say to her?"
"Nothing" she replied, I walked off.
BooooooooooooooRING.....

I am sure she LOOVES to hear my stories about how my customers were upset that they didn't have 24/7 access to the internet or my meetings with my boss that went very well.

"How was your meeting?"

"It went well. We came up with some good action points and left with a consensus of what needs to be done at the blah... blah blah blah.."
BooooooRrrring......

You start to look at your spouse and think "Why doesn't anything interesting happen to you?" "Why don't you get kidnapped or something and come back to tell us about it?!!"

Anything!! Just don't came back from work to hear that nothing interesting happened.

So it came to me today. How about we spice up our life by lying about it?? Seriously! What harm would there be if we did. At least we could weave a great yarn that will entrance our listeners for the day.

Maintain the lie as long as you can. It will be fun that way.

Imagine the grocery story with embellishments.

"Honey , can you believe that someone say our baby with the pink bow in her head and STILL called her a boy??!!"

"Wow, what did you say to her??"

"I grabbed her hair and pulled it as close to the baby carrier and demanded that she apologize to my baby girl for her insults!! When she struggled, I slapped her 3 times and dropkicked her into the frozen food section!!!"

"Holy crap!! u r awesome!!!"

Now tell me that doesn't brighten up your evening with that story. Now wifey and I can cuddle by the TV, anticipating a SWAT team knocking on our door. If that isn't exciting, I don't know what to tell you.

What about my Boss meeting story?

" Honey , how was your meeting with your boss?"

Awesome!! My CEO and 3 VPs joined the meeting on a whim and congratulated me on a fantastic job so far. They wanted to reward me with a 5% raise and I told my CEO to kiss my ass with that pansy raise. One of the VP tried to reprimand and I told HIM to suck it!!"

"Wow, incredible!! what did they say to that??!!"

"The CEO was impressed and praised my huge cojones and gave me a 200% raise!!! "

"Wow Awesome baby, I love you even more!!!"

Go ahead, try it out. Take a normal, mundane day and spin a great lie about it. Give your spouse one exciting story for the day. It might not be true but it sure will beat the usual crap we say.
