I hope so - A lie you tell yourself when you know something is going to

A lie you tell yourself when you know something is going to fail. It’s like saying ‘I hope’ but with the confidence of a dead man.

I hope so. My mom’s coming over and she’s bringing her whole family.

I hope so. I just got a call from my boss and he said ‘you’re fired’.

I hope so. I just ate a whole pizza and I still have 2 more to go.
