    Even simple lies like this stress me out. My method is to just abruptly say, “sorry, I’ve got to go” and hang up. If asked about it later, “I’d really rather not talk about it.” They pretty much never ask about it later though. Zero lies, zero stress, and you don’t have to keep talking on the phone.
