    “They’re from outside the ordinary menu, but you could make them if you wanted to and I paid you enough. So they aren’t special, you liars! Also, you call this the soup of the day, but you offer three soups so they are all the soups of the day! I am taking my business to an honest establishment! Good day, sir!”

      They’re from outside the ordinary menu

      That makes them special to the menu though. Not sure what your issue with that is tbh.

        “Nowhere do you state that “specials” mean something other than what is on the ordinary menu! You did not make that clear to me at all, you liar!”

        By the way, how many children do you have? Remember, if it’s zero, you wouldn’t want to lie like you did earlier when I asked you what you told them and you responded.

          If they don’t specify how they’re special then they need to be special in any way for what they say to be true though. If they say they’re special in a certain way and they aren’t, then that’d be a lie.

          Not sure why you think I wouldn’t want to lie or why you think I lied earlier.

            Got it. Lying by omission is not lying. You need to contact the world’s justice systems and let them know.

            Not sure why you think I wouldn’t want to lie

            Okay, then what is even the point of this conversation? Are you just bored and looking for someone to be contentious with?

              I’m not sure what omission you are talking about.

              I just wanted to make the original point. And now I’m just replying to your messages (even though the original discussion seem to be over) because I feel like it’d be rude not to.

                Your “original point” was that I was lying to my daughter by not coming up with unreasonable alternatives even though she clearly knew what I meant and understood what I was saying. It was a ridiculous point and it is no more a lie than the specials example because, as you made clear, she understood the context.

                  Sorta, I just meant that yeah you were lying because the actual reason was convenience. As for the specials example, I’m not sure it really worked (or you didn’t properly work it out), since in that case the special was actually special in some form. If you meant that it wasn’t actually special in any way but I was expected to know it wasn’t supposed to be, it would be closer, in that it would also be lying.’

                  What was the omission you talked about earlier btw?

                    Again, it wasn’t convenience if she understood the context.

                    Why are you not getting that?
