8. “I’ll be home soon.”
We don’t know where you are, okay? We don’t know what you’re doing. We just know that you’re having a hell of a time and you’re not quite ready to return to the family nest. So when your phone starts ringing and your girlfriend is all: “Where are you, babe?”, you have two options: 1) “I AM MY OWN PERSON AND I COME HOME WHEN I WANT, DAMN IT!” or 2) “I’ll be there in a two shakes of a lamb’s tail! xoxoxox!”
And let’s face it, you’re probably gonna go with #2. It’s not exactly a lie — there are a million variables that could transpire in one, let alone two shakes of a sheep’s fluffy rudder. And as they say: “Ask for forgiveness, not for permission”. Having your ear chewed off would ruin your night, so you figure you’ll just sweep it under the rug until later.
