What is the funniest or most unbelievable lie your child ever tried to get you to believe?

I'll start...but I have a few more I can add.

SS was about 11. He came home from school on Friday saying a friend was going to give him 100 Pokeman cards. Pokeman was huge back then. 100 cards was worth quite a chunk. I went to the bank on Saturday and cashed a check. Didn't spend any money. Sunday morning we wake up and SS says to DH, that my purse was open and scattered all over the floor when he got up but that he cleaned it up and he thought there was $100 missing. Big red flag, how would he know how much is missing? Sure enough $100 is missing. SS says he thinks the cat opened my purse, took the wallet out of my purse, opened the wallet, and that the cat managed to get his paw into the wallet enough to get the money out.
DH played along a little. Made all the kids search their rooms. SD and DS come to me crying, why do they have to search their rooms. DH finally makes SS do rabbit ears with his pocket...OMG he says...how did that get in there. SS could not figure out how that money got in his pocket.
It was funny. Still is to this day.

Creative yes, funny? Wouldn't have been to me. I think 11 years old is plenty old enough to know
1 to stay out of my purse
2 to not steal money from said purse
3 to not lie about it

I can't really think of any lies the kids have tried to get by me that I found humor in- you see I try to teach them NOT to lie. EVER.

Not exactly a lie, about 12 years ago.


My 6 year old girl: "Daddy can I ride my bike?'

Me: "NO! not until you clean your room"

My 6 year old girl: "ok"

five minutes later I find her outside riding HER BROTHERS bike.

I don't think she is implying that she is teaching her kids to lie. I'm sure she teaches them not to lie, but it is still amusing how he tried to get it past her. This strikes me more as, what did they actually have the audacity to say to you type of thing. I can condemn lying but still be amused by what they come up with.

Not exactly a kid, but this was one told to me by a friend at Disney, one of those I can't believe they would actually say that situation:

My friend was working the train platfrom in Toontown when a lady dropped her purse off the back of the train. He ran it up to her and she started yelling at him about how he was attempting to steal her purse. He told her his name, made sure she had his description right, and told her to go to City Hall. He informed the manager and the manager met her there. By the time she got there, he not only attempted to steal her purse, but also made off with her cash, cell phone, keys, credit cards, and her premium annual passes. The manager said, "I'll tell you what. I have a list in this computer of all of our premium annual pass holders. IF your name is on here I will refund you your money and fire him. If not, I will ask you to leave." She hightailed it out of there! Was it wrong? Abso-froggy-lutely. Was it funny that she thought that she could get away with such a blatant lie? Yes.

LOL. You have to give her props for her creativity!

Me: Did you spill that milk?
DS: No, Barney (the cat) did it

i'm confused. did the purse really belong to that woman or was she trying to steal it? or was your friend trying to steal it?

Oh yeah. Mine do that kind of thing too. I think the one I found the most humor in was a couple of Halloweens ago. My youngest was 4 at the time. He asked if he could have a piece of his candy and since it was right before dinner, I said no. I go back into the kitchen and there he is eating candy. I looked at him like this and he said "It's not my candy. It's brother's name candy." In his 4 yo brain this was perfectly acceptable. Little goof!

That 11 yo though. I am afraid I would have been pretty upset and sad as opposed to thinking it was funny. I admit to being fairly uptight though.

The purse belonged to the woman. She dropped it off the back of the train and he politely handed it to her so she wouldn't have to get off the train to get it. At no point did he try to abscond with it.

The purse belonged to the lady. The friend works at WDW and tried to give it back to her but she claimed he was stealing it and tried to lie and make it seem he had stolen from her.

That is my interpretation anyway.

I can't remember a funny one my kids have done, but I do remember one I tried to pull over on my mom. I was 6 or 7 and she told me to go clean my cat's litter. I despised that job. Instead of taking the 5 minutes to clean it, I decided to get tricky and spent 10 minutes carefully burying and covering every piece of poop. Then I took one of the bags and blew it up and tied it off. I carefully set it in the trashcan and left feeling quite proud. Soon after my mom came into my room and asked if I'd cleaned the litter. I said yes. She asked again. I insisted that I had. She said not to lie to her. I still don't know why I didn't confess, but I stood my ground. Well apparently my genius plan didn't work because the bag deflated.

A couple of years ago when my son was in 3rd grade he came up with a pretty good one. It was in the winter, but one of those days that is cold enough for a winter coat in the morning and they get hot in it at recess and take it off. Well, that night at home I asked him where his coat was. He said that some 2nd grader came up to him and RIPPED it off his body and ran inside with hit (I think he also said something like he knocked him to the ground too). I asked him why he didn't tell the teacher and he said he did, but she said So What. So then I asked him who the kid was and he said he didn't know his name. I asked who he was playing with. He told me and I suggested that maybe we should call them and see if maybe they knew the other kid's name. After I threatened that he finally came clean and told me he forgot it on the playground. I have learned to keep two winter coats for him because he is always forgetting one somewhere.

My daughter told her kindergarten teacher that our family doesn't believe in math.

I don't have children, but once when I was about five I was really bored and wanted to go out. So I went to the living room stunbling around trying to convince my grandmother that we were having an earthquake, thinking that she would grab me and take me out to the street.

Needless to say it didn't work!

It sounds like the lady was trying to score some premium annual passes from Disney. "Your CM stole my annual passes." Once Disney decided to investigate whether or not she was a true pass holder, she ran for the hills.

What a nut case.

My daughter told her kindergarten teacher that our family doesn't believe in math.

My younger cousin once told my friend (his 11th science teacher) that his family were farmers. She knew who he was, apparently he didn't know she was my best friend who I have known since birth. He would go in and tell her these stories about his "farm" and how he helped cows give birth and how is crops were doing... She would just play along and tell me about them... At christmas when I finally got to see him and his "farmer" family I asked him how the farm was doing... His mom is an RN and his dad owns a beer/ice/soda distribution center...After Christmas my friend didn't hear any more farm stories.. wonder why He did go on to college and play football for Penn St

That's awesome. Great visual.

When the boys were about 2 and 5 I did my usual mad dash to start a Barney Video then hopped in the shower. Wellllll that is when I learned that they really didn't care for the "white" Barney video. It seems that the purple one was their favorite. At the time we were painting the 1/2 bath in our room so we had taken down the old medicine cabinet to make way for just a mirror. When I got dressed and walked out into the living room there was older DS with lipstick smeared all over his face and some eyeshadow in the general area of his eyes. Younger DS looked like he had had makeup on his face but most was wiped off.
I asked older DS if he got into the old medicine cabinet and he said No, lil brother did though. I asked if lil brother had put any on his face and he insisted that only lil brother had gotten into the makeup.
The poor kid was speechless when I took him into the other bathroom and had him stand on the step-stool to look in the mirror to see his own face. He still tried to insist that he didn't have anything on his face!!!! Even after I washed it off and showed him the clothe he still denied it. I ended up making him put his nose on the wall until he confessed that he was the one to get into the makeup and to decorate his brothers face too.

I might still have a photo of that lovely make-up job. Graduation is coming soon.......ultimate payback is coming soon!!!

Another time he insisted he would help lil brother with his potty training. So one day they go in close the door and take forever. I knocked and asked if everything was ok. Older DS says yes! Younger says We playing!! I open the door to see them sitting on the counter on opposite sides of the sink with the sink full of water and their feet in the sink. Now that one I know I still have a pic of them. One of them is even wearing a plastic fireman's helmet in the pic.

I was helping out with my son's kindergarten. The children were all gathered around the teacher in a reading nook. I came into the back of the classroom unnoticed by my son and the rest of the children. The children all had their backs to me, the Kindergarten teacher was facing me. She gave me a little nod of acknowledgment, so I sat down one of those impossibly small chairs waiting for her to finish what she was doing.

She was talking to the kids about occupations. At first she's talking about firemen and she asks the children if any of their parents are firemen. My son speaks up and says: "My Dad is a fireman". It so happens I'm not. The kindergarten teacher knows this and you can see the mirth in her eyes. But she doesn't say anything. She had been around for a while and decides to try something for my benefit.

She then asks if any of the kids parents are astronauts. My son speaks up and says "My Dad is an astronaut some of the time when he is not being a fireman"

She then asks if any of the kids parents work in the zoo. Again, my son speaks up and proudly tells the class that "My Dad is going to stop being a fireman so he can work in the zoo."

It's all I can do to keep quiet at this point. The kindergarten teacher is also fighting to keep it together. Other kids are being openly skeptical, questioning him whether his Dad is really a fireman\astronaut who is about to make career change to zookeeping.

She goes through some more professions and it turns out I used to be a plumber and a painter. The teacher finally mentions my job and my son sits on his hands. He won't say a thing. She's tries prompting him but he just looks the other way.

At this point I start laughing out loud and my son sees that I am there. To say he was embarrassed is a huge understatement. He pleaded with me not to tell his Mom. For years afterwards he couldn't stand to be in the same room if I told the story - and I told the story a lot.

He's old enough now to act like the story is cute. But I think it still bothers him.
