As little kids, we were bound to whatsoever we were told, whether true or not, we couldn’t tell, so we’d believe! People who tell us these words we’re bound are our teachers, elder siblings, aunts, uncle, dads but most especially our MOMS!!
When we were kids, they’re our one and only backbone, the one person we run to when we’re hungry, when we need to be pampered, when we need to report our siblings among many others, depending on how your childhood was.
It’s no doubt that while we saw them as our backbones, they saw us… one way or the other a pain in the butthole! And many a times, they find possible excuses to get rid of us! And these excuses(lies) of course, we have no choice but to believe them! I mean, we were young and vulnerable eh?! And besides, they were suitable to our hearing.
We look at some of the innocent lies most moms their kids to help them get through the day! Most of us can relate!
1. “You ears turn red when you lie.”
You know how Nigerian kids are given in to most kinds of superstition… Say this phrase and watch your kids hiding their ears every time they lie. It’s funny, but at the same time, they’ll learn that lying is bad!
2. “You used to love eating this when you were a baby!”
Hehe… this is when you want them to drink that PAP!. It can really help your picky eaters to get over their dislikes for healthy food. Not for long though, bare that in mind.
3. “Maybe we can go ______ tomorrow.”
If your children want to go somewhere too late or you simply don’t want to go there, this phrase does the trick and hopefully, they forget about it tomorrow morning. Some of them are way too smart to forget though…
There is no word like ” innocent lies”. Lying for any reason is a sin and the portion of a lying lip is a place that burneth wt fire and brimstone
