Lies we tell out children can sometimes come back to bite us, but as raising children is an art form. Parents are and have to be the Lieonardo da Vincis of making things up. We’re not saying children are stupid. In fact, here at Wicked Uncle we know that children can be some of the most knowledgeable people on the planet: they can snipe a Fortnite enemy from 250m away, they’ve memorised every Taylor Swift lyric, and they can name all 807 different Pokemon.
But sometimes we adults can get one over on them. Here is a list of the most hilarious lies that parents have told children.
1. Think of all the missed ice creams
2. White lies
3. We feel a bit guilty about this one…
4. Super-Mum!
5. We’ve all used this one!
6. One way to keep them quiet…
7. May the force be with you
8. Well, it is still dangerous
9. Sometimes we have to guess the science
10. How to regulate TV time…
11. Convincing them that they’re special
12. Got to keep their hopes up
So, is it OK to tell occasional little fibs to our children?
Whilst we obviously don’t condone telling straight up lies, sometimes the little white lies we tell our children can be very funny!
In fact, it’s perfectly OK to tell the occasional white lie (depending what it is!). We firmly believe it gives them a wicked sense of humour and a fantastic imagination.
And now for a little joke…..
My new hobby is eating clocks. It’s rather time-consuming.
