Lies have short legs. When it comes to, parents should be very, very small. Because if we are honest: As a parent, small emergency lies are on the agenda.
While we preach to the children that they shouldn't lie, we are the biggest liars ourselves. With up to 100 times a day we are very nice lying barons. Small flunkers are almost a matter of course. And most of them don't have a guilty conscience.
Parents in particular are probably the leaders among the lies. We only want one thing with small emergency lies to our children: make everyday life a little easier. Because a tiny emergency lie is often preferable to a long discussion or a dispute.
As with everything in life, do not exaggerate! But sometimes a small flunker is simply necessary to survive everyday family life - and honestly, the gullibility of the little ones can be very helpful.
You can read with us what emergency lies you have already served up to your children. The situations will definitely be familiar to you. Have lots of fun with it! And you know: We lists and we don't judge! (We listen, but don't judge!)
The 15 funniest emergency lies of parents
What little flunkers are the order of the day for parents? Here you will find a small selection of funny emergency lie, which you will certainly know:
"Oh dear, unfortunately we have no suitable batteries in the house for the loud police car."
Oh man, that's really a shame. You already have so many batteries at home, but none fits. How can that happen? Parents know why! Because loud toys can be quite annoying. A break of it was also granted to us.
"Of course we also go to bed when you go to sleep now."
Yes, yes, in any case we go to bed in bed. Maybe if parents are really tired. But actually the day for mom and dad is not over. The household is often made, laundry is merged, time enjoyed for two or even worked. We are usually still a long way from going to bed.

"Where did you hide? I don't find you at all! "
Yes, of course - playing hiding with a toddler can be pretty tricky. The hiding places are so incredibly good that you need forever to find the little ones. (Attention, irony! 😉)
Honestly: standing in the middle of the room with your eyes closed is simply not a hiding place! But hey, we play with - because it is worth the rays in their faces!
"The car can only drive off when everyone is buckled up."
Hm, someone should explain that to me. Is the technology really so far that the car only drives when everyone is buckled up? I don't know about it, but I don't think so. It doesn't matter. As long as the offspring believes and straps properly, that's enough.
"Your friends are already in bed and sleep now."
As a parent, what do you not do everything to get the children to sleep? Sometimes a small emergency lie has to be used. Although? Actually, it can really be that the friends are already sleeping. Who already knows that?
"Unfortunately, the playground closed today."
Of course, the playground can be replaced by many other places. There would be the zoo, the indoor playground, the indoor pool ... but it always stays the same. If you don't feel like it or time, the playground simply closed. Fortunately, the little ones don't know any opening times.
“We no longer have any sweets at home. We have to buy them first. "
In most cases, that's not true. But sometimes the little fleece has to be to keep the little ones from the constant snack. Important: Of course, your offspring should not know where the candy is.
Also read:
"If you mitize the bread crust, you will learn whistle."
At least my grandpa always told me that because I never wanted to eat the crust. I don't know whether my Pfeif talent today will have eaten the crust. I just believe it now.
"Unfortunately, we have to go home now because the zoo is close."
At some point even the most patient parents no longer feel like strolling through the zoo or staying in the swimming pool for another hour. The little ones? Of course! You could spend the whole day there.
It's a shame that the zoo suddenly closes ... Honestly, we are really sorry. (Or not. 😉)
"Unfortunately, you can't eat that, there's alcohol in it."
Unfortunately, the emergency lie only works if the little ones know that alcohol can only drink mom and dad. But then all the better. So you can eat something sweet every now and then without the little ones grab it directly.
"I have no money with me to buy sweets."
Oh what a shame. We don't even have a few euros flying around in our pocket. Well, you really can't do anything. However, it will be stupid if the kids already know that you can also pay with your smartphone. (Then maybe the cell phone sleeps ...)
"Let's blow, then it doesn't hurt anymore."
Funny, but this method really works. At least if it is not a bad thing. Blown a little and the world looks very different again. In fact, it is not a lie at all.
Also read:
“The television doesn't work today. It broke and has to be repaired first. "
Oh man, always this technique. Unfortunately, the television just broke when the little ones wanted to watch Paw Patrol again. Now he has to be repaired first. Unfortunately, the emergency lie only works until the little ones can use the remote control themselves.
"You get square eyes from many television."
Unfortunately, the emergency lie that our parents and grandparents used to tell us does not work as well today. The little ones are not stupid either. However, it can still be a warning. Maybe the offspring will go into it.
"If you eat the plate, there will be nice weather tomorrow."
If the weather forecast were so easy. But that's not it. Nevertheless, the little flunker can work. Finally, the next day, the youngsters usually no longer remember it and also accepts a rainy day (although the plate was eaten).
Of course you have to see the entire emergency lies with a wink. And if we are honest, they are not that bad either. After all, they make everyday life easier for us so that the offspring do not rob us of the last nerve.
