I wouldn't be too busy at the moment if I quit my job if my job was what made me busy. So it's a lie, right?
You wouldn't be too busy after quitting your job so whether or not it's a lie depends on if you had quit your job before answering. If you had quit it and didn't have anything to do at that moment then yeah it'd be a lie. If you still had your job when you answered then you wouldn't be lying.
Wow. Everyone must be lying to you constantly. I can picture you at a restaurant after a waiter lists the specials. "Those are made of conventional ingredients I could buy at a grocery store and cook myself, so they aren't really special now are they? You're lying to me!"

Not really, afaik

I thought the list specials meant it was something outside of the ordinary menu, making them special to the list. If they claim they're made of special ingredients and it's the same ingredients from the regular store you visit, then they probably are taking you for a ride tbh.
"They're from outside the ordinary menu, but you could make them if you wanted to and I paid you enough. So they aren't special, you liars! Also, you call this the soup of the day, but you offer three soups so they are all the soups of the day! I am taking my business to an honest establishment! Good day, sir!"
They’re from outside the ordinary menu
That makes them special to the menu though. Not sure what your issue with that is tbh.
"Nowhere do you state that "specials" mean something other than what is on the ordinary menu! You did not make that clear to me at all, you liar!"
By the way, how many children do you have? Remember, if it's zero, you wouldn't want to lie like you did earlier when I asked you what you told them and you responded.
If they don't specify how they're special then they need to be special in any way for what they say to be true though. If they say they're special in a certain way and they aren't, then that'd be a lie.

Not sure why you think I wouldn't want to lie or why you think I lied earlier.
Got it. Lying by omission is not lying. You need to contact the world's justice systems and let them know.

Okay, then what is even the point of this conversation? Are you just bored and looking for someone to be contentious with?

I'm not sure what omission you are talking about.

I just wanted to make the original point. And now I'm just replying to your messages (even though the original discussion seem to be over) because I feel like it'd be rude not to.
Your "original point" was that I was lying to my daughter by not coming up with unreasonable alternatives even though she clearly knew what I meant and understood what I was saying. It was a ridiculous point and it is no more a lie than the specials example because, as you made clear, she understood the context.
