Sprirtually speaking, who is the liar?

Question

Scene: you and me. You are sick and ask me to go to the store and get you some soup. I say okay. Then I go and phone a friend and tell them that you said you want them to bring you soup. Who is the liar: you or me?

Mandrake · Accepted Answer

You,

You lied twice actually: Once when you agreed to go to the store knowing full well you had no intention of doing it, and another when you misrepresented what I said to the friend.

Is there a hair in the soup? It's relevant somehow.
