Lee Ann and I were meeting with a couple a few weeks ago when the husband made and interesting statement and tipped off that something was tragically wrong. The husband was being confronted by his wife about a close friend of his when he said, “We’re just friends!” There are few other phrases that tip off a break down in the relationship like that one. How about, “I only read it for the articles."
"It only happened once, honestly!"
"It didn't mean anything."
"It was a wrong number."
"I can stop anytime I want."
"I found it at work." (referring to a new piece
of jewelry).
"I have a headache." (for the 10th time)
"I'm tired." (for the 10th time)
"What other bank account?"
“Honestly, I’m telling the truth!”
