Lies I tell my spouse

I am generally an honest person--honest, even, to a fault--confessing things that don't need confessing, and telling you true things you didn't even ask. Yet, when it comes to succulents, I admit that I am not always altogether forthcoming. Let's see if you can relate to any of these: 
  • "I can’t remember how much that crassula cost." (Way too much.)
  • "I worked for three hours, then stopped by the garden center for 15 minutes." (It was closer to half and half.)
  • "I don’t know when I got those echeverias." (Yesterday.)
  • "I don’t water plants in the kitchen sink." (I totally do.)
  • "Buying seeds is more cost effective." (Not if you buy rare ones and lose 2/3 to fungus infestations.)
  • "Haworthias are an investment." (Not if I never sell them.)
  • "I'm going to sleep in 15 minutes." (Right after these next two hours looking at rare succulents on Pinterest.)
  • "I wouldn't use the word 'addicted.'" (Yes, I would.)

It's not that I mean ​to lie, just that succulents bring out the self-protective impulse in me. Luckily, my spouse tends to know I'm lying and--most of the time--just rolls her eyes indulgently. Do any of these resonate? What succulent lies have you told lately?
