In childhood, parents kindly lied to almost each of us in childhood: they invented some "terrible" or just unpleasant situations that would certainly arise if we did not brush our teeth before going to bed, scatter our toys on the floor, do not finish breakfast or lie to our parents. Of course, it was a good lie: thanks to her, many of us were obedient, polite and exemplary children. Today we want to share with you examples of funny lies that parents tell their children. If you cannot call your child to order in any way, then you should definitely read this post.;)

One Quora user asked an interesting question: "What was the funniest lie your parents told you when you were young?" The question provoked a lively discussion: someone recalled their happy, carefree childhood, and someone shared their adult experience - told what a funny lie he invented for his child.

We decided to share with you the most interesting answers, and also encourage you to be active and share your childhood memories or parenting experiences in the comments. We are sure you have something to say.:)

I know that you lie to me

When I was a child, my mother told me that if I lie, it is written in my language. When she suspected that I was lying, she would say, "Show me your tongue." So I tried to lie to my mother less. The method turned out to be so effective that I also used it when communicating with my own children.

Brush your teeth - you will fall asleep well

My dad always told me that if I brush my teeth before bed, I will sleep well. This statement is so memorable to me that after 13 years, studying in college and tossing and turning in bed before the upcoming exam, I always thought: "Oh, I should definitely brush my teeth."

When you lie, one rabbit dies in the world

My mom once told me that if I lie and don't cross my fingers, then one innocent rabbit is dying in the world. I was very fond of rabbits, so I always crossed my fingers before lying. My mother saw this and, accordingly, could always catch me in a lie.

Favorite PlayStation

My mom really loved playing the PlayStation. Like any child, I didn’t like it when people didn’t pay attention to me, and I began to constantly distract my mother from the game. Perhaps she was afraid that a young child would ruin her favorite toy, so she often handed me a disabled joystick and said that we were playing a game for two players.

Suspecting nothing, I sincerely believed that I was taking the most active part in the game. This was also facilitated by encouraging comments from my mother: “Well done! Nice jump, and now to the right”,“Good girl, dear! How well you play! Mom can't keep up with you "," Hurray, we won!"

This little trick was carried on for four whole years, and then I began to use it in relation to my younger sister.

I see everything

My friend and his brother loved to carry candy from the kitchen. Their mother hung her portrait in the kitchen and told the children that now she can see everything that happens in the kitchen, even if she is not at home.

When the hand reached for the next candy, the children looked back at the portrait and saw the stern look of their mother - since then they have ceased to secretly feast on.

The evil vacuum cleaner will eat your toys

We have four children and, accordingly, a bunch of toys that children love to throw on the floor. My husband and I came up with a little trick: we told the kids that the vacuum cleaner would eat all their toys if they were scattered on the floor.

Now, just hearing the roar of the vacuum cleaner, the children run screeching to collect their toys.

Beets are the head of everything

"Eat beets, then you will be as strong as Superman" - and this is how my love for beets began.

Food needs to be finished

When I was little, I had this habit: I never finished my portion. For example, I could eat meat and not touch the side dish at all.

When I was 5–6 years old, my mother asked me if I wanted my future bride to be a beauty. Of course, I answered that I wanted to. And then my mom said that all the food that I leave on the plate turns into pimples on the face of my bride-to-be.

As a loving man, I continue to finish my portion to this day.

TV can take offense

Parents told us that the TV is a living being and we should give it a rest every time it works for several hours without stopping. Otherwise, the TV will be offended, leave us and never come back.

A gray top will come and bite on the barrel

When I was a child, I was often capricious and did not want to play the piano. My parents said that a gray wolf is hiding in the bushes under the window and he will jump into our house if there is no music.

This method was very effective until we moved to a new apartment. When my parents tried the same trick, I said: "Wait a minute, how did the wolf know that we moved?"

Later, my parents told me that they were sorry for doing this. They realized that the best way to instill a love for any activity in a child is to inspire, not intimidate him.

Toys in stores not for sale

When my little son started moaning in the store, begging for another toy, I said that the toys in the store are not for sale, but for employees to play with them during special playtime.

Has been working for years.:)
