Yes, again, my child is smart enough to understand nuance. She doesn’t have to have everything put to her 100% literally. I’m not sure why your children do.
Sounds like your daughter might have you beat there since I didn’t say she doesn’t, I didn’t say she does, I didn’t say they do.
Also, I hope you’re not the one who is responsible for telling your children the difference between things like “honest” and “100% literally true” or they are fucked.
Got it, so if you ask me to do something important for you and I tell you I’m too busy, but when in actual fact, I could quit my job, sell my belongings, move to your city and do it, it’s a lie. Right?
You wouldn’t be too busy after quitting your job so whether or not it’s a lie depends on if you had quit your job before answering. If you had quit it and didn’t have anything to do at that moment then yeah it’d be a lie. If you still had your job when you answered then you wouldn’t be lying.
Wow. Everyone must be lying to you constantly. I can picture you at a restaurant after a waiter lists the specials. “Those are made of conventional ingredients I could buy at a grocery store and cook myself, so they aren’t really special now are they? You’re lying to me!”

I thought the list specials meant it was something outside of the ordinary menu, making them special to the list. If they claim they’re made of special ingredients and it’s the same ingredients from the regular store you visit, then they probably are taking you for a ride tbh.

That’s very sweet of you.
You said I wasn’t being honest with her by not telling her the 100% literal truth. So yeah, you’re saying she doesn’t understand nuance.
I said it’s a lighter lie in that it’s not actually (literally) true.

It’s not a lie if you actually are too busy at the moment.
I wouldn’t be too busy at the moment if I quit my job if my job was what made me busy. So it’s a lie, right?

Not really, afaik
