Parents across all cultures have been lying to their children probably since when dinosaurs were still chilling on earth. While some parents are lazy with their weak narratives, others have quote unquote “PHDs in storytelling”. Meaning they could be able to make their gullible children believe anything. All in the name of getting them to act right. Its best not to let a child in on the harsh realities of life at a premature age.
Similarly, lying to children is not the best option and could really make them paranoid from an early age. Tell them the real consequences of misbehaving or rather show them. As a kid, I remember my father always told me that a tree would grow in my stomach if I ever swallowed an orange seed.
Guess how many times I had my finger down my throat anytime we had oranges at breakfast. I didn’t want to be known as that boy with the orange tree sprouting from his mouth. This was a discomfort he could have saved me from just by explaining why swallowing orange seeds could be bad for a person’s health.
Here are some funniest lies told by parents of various users of the internet.
