Oh, the good old days. The times where we were (or weren't) all mischevious little kids who did everything in our power to cheat the system. Maybe our parents knew the truth, maybe they didn't. As far as I know, what they don't know won't kill them. So, how about we walk down memory lane together and reminisce10 lies we for sure told our parents growing up?

1. "I'm going to (insert trusted friends name here)'s house"

No, you weren't. That basically code for, "I'm going to someone's house (or a party) that you absolutely don't want me to go to." Let's be honest it sounded a lot better this way. I got home safe, had a good time, and you slept easy. I was just looking out for everyone involved.

2. "Everyone did bad on the test"

False, you just suck at math and don't want to get backhanded. Realistically, you are probably one of five kids who got a D and the other four kids are deadbeats that don't know the difference between "your" and "you're". If anything, I'm just sparing you the embarrassment of having a dumb kid.

3. "She/He is just a friend!"

Bullcrap. Little do they know you guys have been walking with each other to class, texting all day every day, and acting all "buddy buddy" behind closed doors. This just allows me to save myself from utter embarrassment and also get a little privacy with my "friend".

4. "(Insert siblings name here) did it"

You really think I was going to take the blame for all those times I screwed up? Absolutely not. I am simply shifting the blame to a different person and taking note of their despair as a reminder to not screw up as much. Plus, it'll help them grow! Just being a good sibling here.

5. "I'll be back by (insert curfew here)"

Honestly, if you haven't skipped curfew then you're a fruitcake and need to live a little. Being out a little later than usual may give your momma a heart attack, but you probably will be fine unless your daddy beats you once you get home. No biggie.

6. "I'm just tired"

SIKE, I'm hungover. Why else would I be laying in bed all day with the lights off? In a few years, we can bond over the fact that I don't need a chaser after a shot, how I am pretty sure wine runs through my veins, or that I can shotgun a beer faster than you can say "Are you 21?"

7. "School was good"

Actually, school was awful (like it is most days), and I never want to go back there again because I am too young to understand that my future is right around the corner. Oh, and don't even think about asking me what I learned.

8. "Yes, their parents are home"

Nope, their parents are actually out of town or working late so we are going to do at least two of the billion things kids aren't supposed to do when their parents aren't home. Don't worry though, nobody has to know!

9. "I'm sick"

Just kidding. I am actually 100% healthy right now. I could probably go do a few cart wheels on the front lawn right after a big lunch and still not throw up, but there's something going on at school today that I really can't be there for. Maybe next time?

10. "Nothing"

This can refer to a lot of things. What did you do today? Nothing. What did you learn in school? Nothing. The list goes on and on, and I can guarantee that the answer is something. We just don't care enough to explain what that something is.

What can I say? Kids will be kids!
