Is there a parent out there that hasn’t told at least a little white lie to their child? I’m thinking no.
People took to Twitter to talk about the lies (some small, some big, some pretty strange!) their parents told them when they were growing up.
What lies were you told growing up? Did you tell the same ones to your kids? Feel free to share in the Facebook comments!

#1 Now we need to ask their kids if it worked!
#2 Same…
#3 One of the toughest statements for parents to stick by!
#4 That is one very long-game lie right there…
I was 6. My mum told me it was illegal to feed squirrels. She just didn't want me to go near squirrels. When I qualified as a lawyer I tried to find the relevant statute. There wasn't one. I'd been warning people for years that they'd go to prison. #LiesYourParentsToldYou

#6 Now every time I see cows, I’m going to think of this…
#7 LOL…
#8 That’s one way to get your kids to behave!

#11 A moms gotta do what a moms gotta do to get a few minutes of peace and quiet…
My mother told me you had to be ++quiet when baking or the cake would collapse. I only worked it out 2 years ago. I’m nearly 40 by the way.

#12 Oh, man…I’d still be mad at my mom if I missed out on years of French Toast!
#13 Ahh, the old battery lie, I think every parents has used this one for one thing or another…
#14 On a similar note, I was told my dog went to live on a farm upstate…
#15 These all sound pretty familiar…
#16 Reverse psychology at its best…
When I didn’t wanna sleep my mom told me I have to close my eyes to prevent sleep from getting into them 😂
