Will Lie For Meat (Or How To Get What You Want Through Diet Deception)

by Carilyn on March 7, 2013

Phone conversation with Hubz last night:

Hubz: What are you eating?

Me: A cupcake.

Hubz: Why are you eating a cupcake?

Me: What do you mean, why am I eating a cupcake? I’m hungry and cupcakes are my favorite food group.

Hubz: I mean, why are you eating a cupcake? I thought you said you were going Paleo. Last time I checked, cavemen didn’t eat cupcakes.

Me: I was lying.

Hubz: You were lying about going Paleo? That’s a weird thing to lie about.

Me: No it’s not.

Hubz: Why would you lie about something like that? That’s just stupid.

Me: It’s not stupid. It makes perfect sense.

Hubz: Please. Please enlighten me about how that could possibly make sense.

Me: I wanted your ribeye.

Hubz: What?

Me: I wanted the other half of your ribeye but you were eyeing it lasciviously, so I knew you wouldn’t give it to me unless I needed it.

Hubz: First, no one eyes meat lasciviously. And second, you could have just ordered another steak. You didn’t have to lie to get mine.

Me: I didn’t want to wait. And people do too eye meat lasciviously.

Hubz: Maybe you do, but sane people don’t.

Me: Did you just call me crazy?

Hubz: Did you lie about going Paleo just so you could steal meat?

Me: Yes.

Hubz: Then yes I did.

I know. I know.

Happy Running!

Carilyn March 7, 2013 at 1:38 pm: Very good point, Izzy. I knew I won that argument, I just wasn’t sure how! Thank you for giving me more ammunition :).
Kate March 7, 2013 at 2:54 pm: I would totally eye a steak lasciviously.

And you probably meant the Paleo thing at the time. So it was true when you said it, if only then. 🙂
Marcia March 7, 2013 at 7:36 pm: Our local cupcake shop has one called Heavenly Swine that contains bacon so I’m pretty sure it’s sanctioned Paleo. Cupcakes should always stay in the diet.

Hubz: Maybe you do, but sane people don’t.

Well, that settles it, I apparently am insane. Not that this is the only deciding factor. 🙂
Carilyn March 8, 2013 at 8:56 am: Thank you, Kate. One more vote for my side :).
Carilyn March 8, 2013 at 8:57 am: Ooooooohh! Love it, Marcia!
Carilyn March 8, 2013 at 8:57 am: But it’s a good form of insanity, Jeff, isn’t it? 🙂
