10 Hilarious white lies members have told their kids!

A little bit of fibbing is compulsory in the world of mothering. Sometimes you just have to tell some innocent white lies to keep your kids happy.

So without further ado, here are 10 great white lies that our Facebook members regularly use!

When the Ice Cream truck plays music it means they are out of ice cream!
My cake has alcohol in it, so no you can’t have any!
Santa has cameras in the lights and can see everything you do!
We only eat meat from animals when they die of old age.
Not today, the park is shut for cleaning!
Roast lamb is just brown chicken!
If the lights are flashing on the supermarket ride, they are broken!
You can’t use mum’s shampoo, your hair will fall out!
The internet is down, no Ipad today!
We have no batteries in the house to fix that!

So there you are, either we just re-stated everything you say, or gave you more ammunition for everyday! SHARE your little white lies with us in the comments below.

When I wanted my two year old to stop using a pacifier, I told her it was broken, and luckily she was okay with that – no more pacifier.

These are great, I never thought of some of these. My son is at the “questioning,” age so I think I might have missed the boat with getting away with most of these.

  When they become teens they will sure take you to task for telling little white lies!
