'No thank you'.0

Yup, just say "no thanks"0
-
yes, just politely decline, and explain why if you can.0
-
"I don't like Pie" with a smile!0
-
Be honest - "No thank you, Im trying to cut back on sugar"0
-
"It looks amazing, but no thank you". Put a compliment in there before declining - bakers want to hear it looks/smells amazing...at least I do!0

'No thank you'.
^^ This. Astonishing I know. You may want to practice in front of the mirror.0 -
Just say no thank you and if she asks why, be honest.0

"Yes, please! Can I have TWO slices?" Take one pretend bite when no one is looking. "Wow this is so good! You know what this needs! Ice cream!", take plate to kitchen and dump down disposal while pretending to heat up spoon under hot running water for said ice cream. Walk to freezer and Proclaim "What? No ice cream? Just as well, I already finished my pie. So fast. That was soooooo good you should enter it in a county fair contest, thank's moms!" (Same excuse if you find the ice cream bring it to the table and plop it on everyone elses plate cause food pushing is FUN, and then sadly proclaim "Oh darn, I ate my pie so fast I didn't even get to the ice cream and now I'm too stuffed--shucks!")
Two pieces because now you cannot be offered 2nds for loving it so much, can claim being "stuffed" and there will be less pie left to offer you later after 3 rounds of awkward charade or whatever goes on at in-law dinners.0 -
Ok I will be the odd man out here.... I would do like I always do and make room for it in my caloric intake. I would get to enjoy a slice of pie and my mother in law (god rest her soul) would have been happy. And I don't know about yours but my mother in law baked her pies from scratch with lard. No way I would passing up a slice of that and the good part is I would go home and the rest of the pie would have stayed at her place... Best of Luck....0

Well, I came in here to say:
How about "no, thank you"?
But it looks like all these other geniuses thought of the same brilliant phrase...0 -
"Thanks mom, but the last time I had your blueberry pie I was stuck on the toilet for 4 hours so I'll pass"0

Thanks for all your replies, sometimes I think people that are constantly pushing you to eat is no different than people pressuring you into drugs, lol!!0

Yep. Blueberry pie and crack. Eat that pie and you'll end up in the gutter.
Hey, if you want to make some extra cash, steal a couple of slices of that pie, put them in a baggie and "push" them my way!0 -

I have to agree with that! If it's once in a while, then it's okay but if it's every time, all the time. Yeah, frustrating!0 -

Pie and crack have about the same street value, I think.0 -
