White Lies

When God created us, he put a little bit of extra something in each one of us. In some he put a pinch of patience, in some a dash of intelligence, some had more liveliness in them than others while some had a better sense of humour. In men, he put an overdose of lies, deceit and betrayal. Now many of you might disagree (99 % men of course); but honestly judge yourself. Women lie of course, big time; but about what? About extra money that they spend out of the household expenditure, about how unreasonable their inlaws are, about their kids being at the top of their class when their grades are actually falling? Such harmless little lies; not even lies really; to brag so they don't feel bad in front of their friends, to get a little more money out of their miserly husbands to indulge themselves (they're women, fr heaven's sake! Women SHOP!)
It's still better than what men are capable of doing. Going behind their wives' backs, lying to them, lying to others, coming up with ingenious excuses when they had been out partying with friends, going on 'very important' trips abroad where it's all work and no play according to them, and so many more. It's not just the wives they lie to; they see a woman they like, they would go to any lengths to have her; telling her they're not married when they are, telling them they have been in a sad, loveless marriage for years and need someone who 'understands' them, telling them they hardly talk to their wives let alone sleep with them..
Wow! They are brilliant!!! How do they cook up such stories so quickly and effortlessly? I'm in awe.. If I had that 'talent', I don't know what I would have done. Or perhaps it's better that I'm a woman, with my harmless little lies and small joys such as bragging....
