This morning, Nic and I sat in my bed while Gary got ready for work. Gary remarked that he didn't really want to go into work today, and this is what Nic said:
"Why don't you call your boss and tell him something really massive, like that you're moving, just joking. Then you will tell him that you need the day off so you can move, but don't really move. "
And Gary said, "Do you know what that's called? That's called lying."
And Nic said, "I prefer to call it 'tricking'."
