I feel like I’m an honest person. Or, at least, I was until I had a child. Now I can’t keep count of the lies I tell on a daily basis. We can’t play with the skateboard “because it’s resting,” the playground was closed today for some strange reason and we are Seriously all out of cookies.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of fabricated stories from today.
I’m starting to wonder, what will I do when he begins to question me? Will I break? Will I become an evil mastermind of toddler manipulation? I’m optimistically leaning toward evil mastermind.
I’m only looking out for his best interests. He was getting crazy with the skateboard, it was freezing cold out today and the kid does NOT need any more sweets. It’s a bit of a crutch to get creative with the truth instead of facing a full-on toddler tantrum meltdown of massive proportions, but sometimes it’s all you can do to get through the day.
I know I’ll have to face the truth someday. But today, I got away with it… bwahahahahaha (that’s my diabolical evil laugh)
So, fellow Moms (and dads) what little lies have you told your children today? Come on, fess up.

That most places they want to go are only open on weekdays (because the weekend crowds at kids’ places make me shudder)
Oh wait, just today? That the store was out of chocolate chip cookies.
lol! There is a play place right next door to my gym. He wants to go every single time we leave. So it is “closed” a lot.
The indoor play area at mcdonalds has been “under construction” for a LONG TIME now 🙂 I actually thought about trying to lie less as a new years resolution…… but decided to wait on that!! so far today, I told them that the coffee shop was closed. I just then opted to drive a different route so they couldn’t fact check me 🙂
I’m really starting to feel better about myself now. I’m not alone in my deception! LOL
Love it! The lies, so true!
Lie from before Christmas: I am going to tell Santa that we cannot have that robot in our house. I know his number and I will call him.
I’m betting there are A LOT of similar pre-Christmas lies going on 😉
😂 truth!
