30 Hilariously Well-Intentioned Lies That Fibbing Parents Told Their Kids

Every parent knows that it's impossible to answer all of your kid's questions. Are we there yet? Who was the 18th president? Why do frogs jump? Why this, why that, why EVERYTHING! Tired parents that are backed into a corner by their curious kiddos have a single, glorious fallback to every question that gets hurled their way and oftentimes, we're too sleep deprived to question the morality of it: Lying! Parents are faced with tough decisions every day when it comes to intense topics, conversations you're not ready for yet, and just general child-fatigue that can be solved instantly with a quick, white lie to placate the kids. 

Well, apparently the lies we tell our kids are seen as 100% truths and, for some people, shaped the way they approached life. All I know is that when I was a kid, it was illegal to turn the lights on in the car, cracking my knuckles would give me arthritis, and if you ate a watermelon seed, a whole melon would grow in your tummy. Scroll for a couple more out-of-pocket parenting lies that'll make you appreciate your well-intentioned parentals.
