50 Smart And Hilarious Lies Parents Tell Their Kids

When new teeth grow in, I told her that they create new tastes. Now she tries to figure out which new foods she will like every time a new tooth comes in.

She's older now, and knows that it's a lie, but I used to change the name of foods. She didn't like tomato soup, but loved ketchup soup. She wouldn't try lasagna, but spaghetti cake is her fave food lol

Raised my kids to know that parents have to send Santa money for toys/presents. That’s why some kids get a lot and some don’t. At 17 and 13, they never brag about gifts until they know what everyone else recieved.

When their tablets need updating I have to mail it directly to Amazon and we have no clue how long it will take days,weeks or months. In reality they are in my closet and I just want them outside catching toads and bugs. 🤣🤣🤣

Our sons didn't eat cooked onions ( in casserole, etc l.). " It's not onion. It's Japanese Clearfruit." They cleaned their plates.

That if we saw the moon - it would follow us home to make sure we made it safely. My daughter believed this until like middle school and still talks about it

My step son is an extremely picky eater but very much a foodie. He loves watching cooking shows and Gordon Ramsay. So now every time I try a new recipe, I tell him it’s Gordon Ramsay recipe (even if it’s not)😂😂 falls for it every time! Now he will eat just about anything😂

We told our daughter she couldn’t go to Disney World unless she learned how to go potty in the toilet. We told her Mickey doesn’t allow diapers.

My mom told me that coffee stunted your growth. One day, working as a dental assistant at 20, my patient goes “what’s your fav coffee place around here” I respond with “oh I don’t drink coffee, my mom said it stunts your growth” right then my mom walks into the room (she was also an assistant and friends with the patient) so the patient looks at her and goes “do you wanna tell her or should I?” 😭😭😭

For every bite of vegetables at dinner, they could stay up 5 minutes later. But, they didn’t know how to tell time.

I told my daughter that whenever a kid lies to their parents they eyes glow… now if she’s lying she squints at me!

My mom used to tell me that the AC in the car only worked when I was quiet.🙃

Told my daughter I could open the car trunk with my eyes. As we would walk to the car I would squint while pushing the button in my pocket 😂

I have a gold tooth because I was a pirate before I was a firefighter. Gold teeth is how we tell each other apart offer retiring from piracy.

We live on a lake and all our granddaughters know the lake doesn’t open until 9am. LOL

I told my kiddos to brush good the tooth fairy is like a jeweler the whiter the tooth the more $ it’s worth…

They think the car doesn’t start unless their seatbelt is fastened. Facts.

Some of these are straight savage 😂Once forgot to play the tooth fairy, told the kids that the tooth fairy had to wait until the bank opened to get cash out.

All the candy at the front at checkouts is expired. That’s why it’s up front

You don’t just go to Chuck E. Cheese. You have to be invited 🥴😂
