Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Allied Supreme Commander, It sounds like you are in the same boat with a lot of other people at this time of year. Not being particulary addicted to sweets myself (isn't that a shock?) I've never understood why cookies, candy, cakes, pies, etc. were so important at Christmas. Good yes, but why do we have so many? Maybe our generation can help people cut back on this emphasis. Ok, back to your question about being nice to your friend without lying. If you've already given them to your son and he has eaten some, ask him if they were good. If he says they are good then you can truthfully tell your friend that her gift was very thoughtful and delicious. You don't need to tell her that you didn't eat any or that you gave them to your son. If she asks specifically which your favorite was, then you are busted and will have to tell the truth! I *AM* presuming that our Allied Supreme Commander was able to resist the enemy! Just think of the rest of your troops out there struggling against the same enemy. Sgt.
