lies

Most of us are insecure at some point in our lives. Or we have things about ourselves that we wish we could change. It's totally normal. What varies from person to person is how we choose to deal with our insecurities. Do we avoid the topic, or do we exclaim the opposite? Either way, it usually doesn't take a genius to notice that someone is covering up insecurity. Just like most things, there are definitely some tell-tale signs.

We all go through life hoping the be the main character, and it's just not always the case. However, sometimes crazy sh** happens to us that makes us think, "Is this real life? This is my life?" In those moments we feel more human than ever. Is it a coincidence? A miracle? We will never know. But one thing is for sure, it will sure as hell make a good story.

Kids are extremely curious. Sometimes it's rather unbearable. They will willingly ask 100+ questions a day until they exhaust every adult around them. Sometimes though, they will find the answer on their move on with their little lives. The only issue is that that answer may be complete nonsense, and eventually that little kid will grow up to be a big adult and they will have to actually understand what is going on around them. Hopefully, somebody corrects them before it's too late.

Okay, this is definitely a thing. As girls, we usually all learn about what being pregnant is before we fully understand what sex is. This results in a delay of information, a disconnect you might say. We know that we are the gender that has babies, but what leads up to that? Some parents will try to scare their kids by saying that they can get pregnant in all kinds of ways. Thank god we have the internet these days. Just try not to get sucked into the "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories.

Let's be honest, children ask too many questions. It's a beautiful thing how creative they are, but it can also get freaking annoying to explain every single thing in the world to them. If you get them down the "why" train you'll never be able to escape.

 "Mommy, why can't I go outside?" 

"Because it's freezing"

 "Why?"

"Because temperature is under 30 degrees" 

"Why?" 

"Because it's winter" 

"Why?" 

"Because we're in the northern hemisphere of Earth"

"Why"

"AHHHHHHHHHHH"

Sometimes it's just easier to throw in a white lie.

So apparently there is a thread, actually a couple of threads, on Reddit that men use to express what lies they think they've been told to by women. Some of them seem pretty angry about it too, let's go through and assess these terrible falsehoods we've been spreading. It's our right as women to know what lies we are telling after all. We can change!

People lie about things all the time; it's human nature. And if you say you've never lied about anything, then you're lying! But lying on social media is a new level of risk because anyone can call you out on your lies and make a public busting. You can then end up on the internet on a viral list like this one, looking like a real a-hole. Check out how these liars were called out, and are probably regretting their lies big time.

Honesty is an important virtue that a majority of parents try to instill on their young ones, so they can grow to be well-rounded individuals. 

Not these parents, of course. 

Just kidding, we know a little white lie never hurt anyone! In fact, some lies can end up benefiting the kid and their poor, exhausted parents. So what's the harm? Plus, it's kind of freakin' hilarious.

Here is a collection of ridiculous lies that parents have convinced their kids were truths: 

We'll take "Things That Never Happened" for 500, Alex. Here's a healthy size dump of stories that more than likely never happened. And are actually pretty darn cringey. Enjoy! 

We've all told a little white lie... something like "No, I didn't eat the last cookie..." and so sometimes we are believed. But sometimes kids push to boundaries a little too far. So why not take it to twitter to call out all those little liars? David Thrope wanted to know...
