quade 3 #1 July 13, 2008 I am looking for common lies that parents tell their children. I am -specifically- looking for lies that parents tell their children in an effort to get them to behave or control them, but any and all parental lies are welcome. The more common the better. Here's a short list of things I already have; Parents can tell when you’re lying because; If I lie my mouth will stink. When you lie you tongue turns black. Your eyes turn green. They would know, because God would write it on your forehead in invisible ink, that only parents could read.

Lindsey 0 #10 July 13, 2008 Quote If you stick your tongue out a bird will come and peck it off (or will come and poop on it) I told my son that flies would land on it. He quit sticking out his tongue...lol. It's funny, because he and I were laughing about that just the other day. Now that he's 11, he doesn't believe it anymore.

shermanator 3 #16 July 14, 2008 my sister was over the other day, and we were questioning her lil 5 year old about a 'boyfriend' that she kissed. Her mommy was telling her that if she didn't tell the truth, that bugs will start flying out of her mouth. and she tells both kids, to keep them inside, or going out without a jacket, that the flu BUG will get them.CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #20 July 14, 2008 QuoteLies? It was reverse psychology... No. Reverse psychology is when they specifically tell you to do or not do something in order to get you to do the opposite. Reverse psychology is when Br'er Rabbit tells Br'er Fox to NOT to throw him in the briar patch in the hopes that he will. Everything that I've listed and most of the things that others have listed up to this point are just outright lies. The ones I especially "like" are the lies told by parents to control behavior of lies in children. BTW, I'm not really looking for "joke" answers, I can make up jokes all day long. What I'm looking for are actual things your parents lied about in attempts to control children. Sure, some of them are going to be "funny", but they don't have to be in order to be included.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamariewillbe 1 #21 July 14, 2008 First off kids are horrible liars, so I could always (still mostly can ) tell when mine were lying so up until about 2 years ago I used to tell them that its in a book. If I knew they were lying Id keep asking and say "are you sure? cause I can just check in the book and it will tell me" . I still tell them "Ill sell you on ebay" but they all know thats a joke / they are racking my nerves. The big lies I never told them, ie santa, easter bunny, and the tooth fairy. I figured the truth was better then the lie.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
