    I would not call it a lie...it's more of an "exaggeration"...in my mind anyway.

    Call it a "white lie". Wives just don't get it sometimes. Call it an investment, that's a Whopper, as I suspect you will never sell it.

    If she asks what it costs just tell her it's only a cent.

    The key is to answer a different question but let her believe you are answering the one she asked. :p

    In this case I used the 10% rule. Quoted 10% of the actual price so the number I used is easy to remember when she asks me again in the future. If she paints me into a corner, anything from Burberry usually ends the interrogation.
