Everybody knows that parents bend the truth a little bit. From Santa
Claus to the tooth fairy, there are some things that we all eventually
realize were unfortunately not true. But those aren’t the only ones as
there are certainly several other good examples as well. These are some
of the biggest lies told by parents!

|
“If you cross your eyes, they’ll stay that way.”
|
|
|
|
“If you don’t get good grades, you’ll end
up homeless.”
|
|
|
“If you don’t put on a coat, you will catch a cold.” You don’t get sick
because you’re cold. You get sick because of a virus or bacteria.
Bacteria hate the cold, and viruses are only transmitted through other
people. So technically, if you want to not get sick you shouldn’t wear a
coat. In fact, you shouldn’t wear anything. You should cryogenically
freeze yourself and go as far away from other people as possible. But
that might be a bit much to explain to mom.

“Do whatever you want.” This is not permission, this is a threat.
|
|
|
“We’ll see.”That’s a no.
|
|
|
“If you go out with your hair wet, you’ll catch a cold.” As we already
said, you get sick from being indoors and in close proximity to other
people. The wetness of your hair has nothing to do with it.

|
“I’m only going to buy milk.” …And she comes back with half the grocery
store.
|
|
|
“I’ll think about it.” It’s a no.
|
|
|
|
“I have
eyes in the back of my head.” Who would actually believe this?
|
|
|
|
“If you tell me the truth, you won’t get in trouble” More like you won’t
get in as much trouble. |
