50 Lies Kids And Teens Like To Come Up With (8 of 8)

Other Common Lies

There are all kinds of other lies that kids will come up with. Here are a handful of other ones to consider.

Driving Responsibly

“I always drive at the speed limit.”

Teens aren’t far off from adults when it comes to driving habits. They’ve been in the back seat and have seen cars plenty of times. They pick up on various habits. You know deep down they’re not always responsible drivers.

Not Cleaning

“I cleaned my room already, someone else must’ve messed it up.”

While some kids can live with the chaos of a messy room, cleaning it up can bring order and help people for sure. It’s likely a lie.

Being Careful

“I’ll definitely be taking good care of the car!”

“Car” can be replaced with anything precious or expensive and for many a sense of dread washes over us from this line.

Brushed Teeth

“Already brushed my teeth.”

Highly unlikely if dinner is still stuck in there.

Getting Into Restricted Movies

“I’m pretty sure the movie’s PG-13.”

The ratings for movies are pretty reliable and they’re there for a reason. Keep an eye on them over what your kid is telling you.

Eating Denial

“I certainly didn’t eat that.”

A likely story. Since when did mice make fork-shaped holes?

Don’t Need To Go To The Bathroom

“I don’t need to go.”

Sure this line can be genuine, but it can also be a lie and they’ll tell you 5 minutes into the drive to pull over. Regardless, you can teach them a valuable lesson this way by not stopping for them until the next pit stop… several miles from now.

Not Tired

“I’m not tired.”

Another denial of the facts.

Being Impartial

“I don’t care.”

So it’s not an issue to pick where to go for supper? Or how about deciding what clothes you really need? Or what to get you for Christmas? Being indifferent can have its consequences.
