White Lies
No, Grace, of course not I like you too, honestly if you were only older I’d date you for sure you’re pretty, you know that what’s that, Ed? oh, oh yeah! absolutely- the tie rocks- where did you find that anyway? would you mind very much if I bought that same one? do you want the truth, Mrs. McKay? This is the most delicious casserole that I think I’ve ever eaten. I’d have a second helping, certainly but a little goes so far. mmmmm! hello Cindy, no, you didn’t wake me. Friday night? let me take a look. Gracious, wouldn’t you know, I’ve a dentist appointment then but do have a happy birthday, ok? And while Grace, Ed, Mrs. McKay, and Cindy are tucked comfortably in bed lulled to sleep by the demonstrative illusions of me being favorable of their affection, fashion, cooking, and company- I lie awake, being torn limb from limb by little, white lies.
