Mom tells daughter: ""Clean your room.""

Daughter says: ""Okay.""

Daughter leaves for the day . . . room not cleaned.

Next day: Room not cleaned

Next day: Room not cleaned

That is just plain old lyin'.

It's a diagnosis that is thrown around here too often.

Making veiled statements sometimes disguised as a compliment to get an often negative point across without being forthright..." You are kind of on the bigger side, but still happy" was one I overheard recently....The receiver asked point blank , "what are you getting at?"

I hate seeing that comment become one that people take as sarcasm. Coming from the south, I always used it sincerely. Now if I say it, I always feel I have to add some sort of disclaimer. ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$

In the example I cite, the room not only never gets cleaned, it gets worse and worse. And the mother is very sick and cannot do it. The daughter promises things all the time and never does them. Often does the opposite. It's not a lie . . . a lie would be "I did it," and it wasn't done. Whatever . . . eye of the beholder, I guess.
