What’s the biggest lie that you’ve been told? I’ve been lied to. A lot. Especially of late by a certain individual. However, the biggest lie I’ve been told came a few years ago.
It happened a few years ago. My son had just turned 2 and we had the paternal side of the family over at our house for a small birthday celebration. Up until this point, we’d been having trouble getting anyone to help us out (like watching our son so we can gwt time alone). The village that we were supposed to have but never ended up materializing. That night, we got told: ‘All you have to do is ask’.
The ironic thing is, we had been. Mutiple times, with multiple people. And we’d always get the same response: ‘We’re not available.’ The family members who were there that night are big believers of ‘helping out’. However, it depended upon who was asking. They would help each other like crazy, but avoided us like the plague. This was very much a case we could ask all we wanted to, but the response would always be the same: Not available.
There were others who did want to help (we had a few friends who had expressed an interest), but couldn’t. They WERE actually busy (many times, we’d be left wondering how they’d have enough time to breathe).
The biggest lie I’ve been told is ‘All you have to do is ask’. What’s the biggest lie you’ve been told?
