A favorable deception

Happy Tuesday! Yesterday, we asked for a way to describe phrases like "I just saw your text" using all of the Blossom letters. Would you believe the answer we were looking for was A REALLY LITTLE LIE! From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you to everyone who wrote in! Special shout-outs to the following people who, to be perfectly honest, responded in record time: Judy in Gaborone, Botswana; Ally Jones in Barlow, Derbyshire, England; and William Seaton in Los Angeles, CA.
