I can’t decide whether it’s the ‘Garden of Eden, snake, apple’ one or the ‘Noah’s ark, animals, flood’ one.

I clicked off too quickly - Liz, you brought it all back to me … you are right. I believed that lie, and did not read our joint tax returns before signing them.

My mother to the relatives: “I went back to work to pay for Bug’s college.”

That Obama is “post racial”, McCain is not too old to be president and that the Clinton’s aren’t disliked in Washington and by the news all that much….I believed that there might be a happy ending to this year’s election, but I’m getting very nervous

the check is in the mail.

I believed, childishly, that Switzerland was neutral during WWII. I really believed that it was possible to stay neutral in a war, but my eyes were opened to the greed and collaboration. Neutrality is impossible for governments and individuals. (I totally believed the Lamaze lie a well. The problem was that the hospital has you sign one of those agreements that they won’t give you pain medicine - even if you beg for it, which I did - so that you don’t sue them later for “interferring” with the birth experience. It’s like that scene in Young Frankenstein. “No matter what I say, do not open this door.” “Open the door, I was only kidding, haha.)

There is a fairy godmother.

That red wine is bad for you.

jesus…and all the other catholic dogma

Biggest lie I ever believed was that Jeffsafe was a “nice guy.” I married the man and he turned out to be addicted to porn and other illicit, immoral and illegal activities.

“If you do what I tell you, you won’t get hurt.”

The biggest lie I believed was when my husband (now ex-husband) came home and told me that it was not true that he tried to seduce one of my best friends. She told her husband that my husband and came over to their house and tried to get her to go to bed with him. We had been a part of a group where 4 couples often went to dinner together, movies together, etc. I chose to believe my husband and said the woman was telling things that were not true. This cost me the friendship of everyone else in the group. My husband was telling me the lies and admitted it years later.

“Men should be paid more because they have families to support.”
