Fooled them all!

Just smile and nod. Then you're not really lying.

Like when you are invited to a dinner group that is being planned by the Elders Quorum and the first one is at the EQ President's house. It's all planned among the men, so you find out last minute that you're in charge of a fruit salad.

It's one of those days and you're still not home by 5 (dinner's at 6) so you swing by Safeway with the intention to get some fruit, rush home, chop and mix.

You run inside, all the while running the next hour through your head... (ok, I'll get home, take the kids inside, nurse the baby, change his diaper, wash my hands, chop the fruit, grab something to eat since I probably won't be able to eat whatever they're having on the lovely TED, wash hands and faces of three kids, Dave will get home, off to the dinner). You walk by the deli and something catches your eye. Angels sing from heaven, pre-made Ambrosia Fruit Salad! No washing, chopping or mixing! Pour it in a bowl, cover with saran wrap...nobody will know the difference!

And they didn't. In fact they were quite impressed with my delicious fruit salad.

Smile and nod.

And then write a thank you note to Safeway.
