[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I know what you mean. For instance, I was visiting once and I was complimenting the pie and my mom said it was home made. I was flabbergasted as if you knew my mom's cooking that I grew up with, there is no earthly way she would be able to make a pie crust. I was so impressed that I asked some questions to find out more like where she learned how to make the pie. It became painfully clear that she didn't make the pie, but for some reason said she did (she wanted the praise?)

I quickly let it go and moved on to another topic, but I've seen other instances like that. I wonder if it's just a facet of getting older as never in all the previous years would my mom have ever felt the need to make up something like that. I am a little worried, I must admit.

People saying storebought desserts were homemade is like one of the most common white lies ever.[/quote]

[b]It’s also dumb to lie about since it’s so obvious.[/b]

My spouse, and his father and brother, has aspergers and “lies” all the time.

It’s driven from ignorance and cluelessness though, not malice. However it also means we cannot trust anything he says. Which is insanity trying to run a household and raise children with. 
And many of the “lies” and omittances are to cover up mistakes or mishaps or damage so it’s destabilizing to live with all those surprises and setbacks. And having to discover broken things or missed appointments the hard way, can be infuriating. The communication is always that poor. [/quote]

I don’t think passing off a store-bought pie as your own cooking quite rises to what you’re describing.[/quote]
