A fly will poop on your lip…and other lies I tell my kids

October 20, 2014 by Jill 56 Comments

Someone once said “I believe in being honest with my kids, 101 percent.”

That someone wasn’t me. I lie to my kids all the time.  I’m not just talking about the trifecta of deception:  Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.  I don’t creatively bend the truth.  I straight up lie like Pinnochio.  Am I ashamed?  Hell no.  Lying to my kids saves my sanity, not to mention time and money.  And sometimes, it’s just fun to eff with them a little.

Lying to my kids saves time and my sanity. Plus, it’s just fun to eff with them a little

A fly will poop on your lip...and other lies I tell my kids|Ripped Jeans and Bifocals

Here are seven of my go-to’s:

1. Your face will freeze like that

In a few years, my kids will be old enough to understand that a few tears or even an all-out nuclear grade meltdown won’t cause their face to freeze mid-wail. But for now, this little lie has a better than 50 percent chance of getting my crying kid to shut it. So, I take advantage of that. Zero guilt.

2. A fly will poop on your lip 

This is a hand-me-down. Every time I stuck my bottom lip out when I was a kid, my mom would scare me with the possibility of fly poop on my face.  Technically, could be true, I guess.  It worked for me and it works for my four year old bottom lip sticker-outer.  Apparently fly crap is scary to a little kid.

3. That’s broken

This is reserved for every annoying automatic pony ride thingy in front of the supermarket. There’s a time and a place for shit like that:  it’s called Chuck E. Cheese in my neck of the woods.  Taking time out from my errands to feed coins in to a pony, car or airplane that jiggles and bounces for all of eighteen seconds only to be met with cries of more, more…ain’t nobody got time for that.

Easier just to breeze by and announce in a mock-regretful tone “sorry, darling, That’s broken.”  Occasionally some “fun mom” will screw it up for the rest of us by actually letting their kids ride these things.  If that’s you, knock that shit off, will you?  People like me need to get in and get out of the store and don’t have the time or interest to indulge in a mini carnival.

4. No, you can’t have a bite, that’s spicy

This is reserved for anything that my kids want that I don’t feel like sharing. Being a mom, I’m usually resigned to going halfsies on anything that looks like it tastes good, but some things aren’t shareable like Klondike Bars and anything made by Dove.  I have no shame about snarfing down my treats behind the locked bathroom door at ten O’clock at night but but when I get caught, I tell my kids with a straight face that its way too spicy and that it would burn their mouths. Really, I’m just being kind by denying them.

I know this kind of lying has a limited shelf life. Pretty soon they’ll be worldly enough to know that no ice cream on this planet is spicy and that if I’m eating something in the bathroom, it’s extra good and they definitely want a bite.

5.  I’m pooping

When I’m behind a locked bathroom door it means I need my special alone time.  I recently installed the Pinterest app on my phone  so I’m probably oohing and ahhing over recipes and DIY projects that are way above my skill level. Being behind a locked bathroom door might mean I’m having some chocolate I don’t want anyone to know about. I might have a glass bottle of wine in there.

Being a mother in a large-ish family means alone time is pretty much nonexistent, unless I’m claiming to be on the crapper…and even that isn’t a guarantee.  I might be eating, drinking or stalking people on Facebook, or I might just be soaking up a few minutes of blissful aloneness.  My payback will be the mess that the kids have made while I’ve been locked in my she-cave, but it’s usually worth it.

For now, my family believes my little lie about Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I’ve got a good thing going with “I’m pooping, kids” so I’m gonna milk that as long as I can.  You would, too.

6. If you don’t go to sleep, Santa won’t come

What this really means is “if you don’t go to sleep, mommy and daddy are going to crack open that second third bottle of wine.”  It means we’re going to get well and truly blitzed while we’re waiting for you to pass out so that we can assemble whatever piece of Melissa and Doug’s finest we’ve decided to let Santa take credit for.

Confession: there’s no “we” involved in assembly of Christmas toys.  I’m a supportive wine-drinking couch potato who periodically mutters things like “looking good, honey” or “they’re really going to love that.” But Santa will come, no matter how late you stay up, kids. The Christmas toys might be put together with chewing gum and hot glue and mommy and daddy may be a little bleary eyed on Christmas morning, but it’s all good.

7. I’ll take that iPad away

I’ll freely admit to using electronic entertainment as a babysitter from time to time. Okay, several times a week  daily.  When my boys get out of hand, the first thing I do is threaten to take their iPads away.  Sometimes I even stalk over and act like I’m going to grab it from their sticky little hands.  Pul-leeze.

Sometimes I need my small humans to be engaged in something besides pulling on my shirt and whining for Fruit Rollups. Maybe I want to blow dry my hair without fear they’ll burn the house down.  Judge if you like.

I let my kids play with the iPad so I can blow dry my hair without fear they’ll burn the house down

In all seriousness, I don’t believe in lying to kids about important stuff, although I am a never say never kind of girl. I’ve told lies to my kids in the spirit of self-preservation and personal comfort levels, but in general, I believe the truth is easier when it comes to important stuff…except stuff like what I’m really doing when I’m locked in the bathroom.

    My son and I were leaving church last night and I overheard some other kid asking his dad to take him across the street for ice cream. I could tell Dad didn’t really want to do that, but he kept hemming and hawing about it. I wanted to shout, “It’s CLOSED! You can’t get any ice cream there tonight!” but I decided against it. I had that response ready in case my son asked, but apparently I’ve killed his dreams often enough that he didn’t even bother!

When my son was a little younger, I used to say “That’s hot!” when he wanted to touch something that I didn’t want him to. I once heard a mom tell her child to turn and face the wall (which was white) and don’t turn around until the wall turned purple! LOL Love this! Visiting from Wake Up Wednesday.

    Wow, I really like the fly poop lie, but my kids don’t really do the pouty lip thing. Maybe a fly will also poop in open, whiney mouths? I’m glad that you have found such a nice place to ponder life- the bathroom is not an option around here- I have slider doors that don’t lock. Perhaps I’ll go down to the guest bath. I could poo in there for hours.

He wanted to know “Why?” Without missing a beat, my 14 year old daughter said” Those are only for people who can dance.” he totally bought it and replied “Oh, ok, I don’t like to dance.”

All About Jill

I'm a digital content creator and essayist who copes with parenting and most other situations with humor and snark. Just so you know, if this weren't the internet, I'd be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like "How are you today" with gems like "I like pockets."

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

(AD) Do you ever feel like you’re standing at a (AD) Do you ever feel like you’re standing at a fork in the road? Like…literally? I have been bouncing back and forth between a certain business decision for about a year. I might act like I’m sure of my path but I’m really not. So, I decided to talk to a psychic advisor from @californiapsychics 

Talking to a psychic advisor is pretty far out of step with how I usually make decisions, but in the interest of testing my comfort zone, I decided to go for it. I had an awesome 30-minute conversation with Psychic Tara that started with me giving my given name, birth date and the most pressing question on my mind. She connected with my guides and gave me some hints at things they see on the horizon as well as some reassurance that my path is the right one. Among other things, I’ve been wrestling with the idea of slowing down versus trying to grow. Tara said I will know when it’s time to slow down and there is still some soaring to do and some important people to connect with.

I’m not sure what I believe when it comes to cards and oracles and guides, but I can tell you I came away from the reading with Tara feeling reassured and energized. It was a very positive and affirming experience. 

If you’d like to get your own reading (I highly recommend!) you can go to the California Psychics website or download their app to book your reading today and use promo code ripped5 to get $5 added to your account when you purchase your first reading.

You can do your reading in the privacy of your own home via a phone call, like I did (I like the voice connection) or via a chat box. They’re open 24/7 and have a wide variety of prices to fit your budget. 

Give it a try! It was a really great experience for me, and it offered clarity with a situation I’ve been struggling with.

Two things we don't get much use for in Texas: hea Two things we don't get much use for in Texas: heated seats and snow pants!

Last week, I was glad we had both on hand. More coming about the Nissan Rogue soon. And one more picture of the crazy snow from last week before we're all convinced it was a dream. Single digit temperatures in Texas was pretty crazy. It's in the 70's this week.

#ad Did you know February is American Heart Month? #ad Did you know February is American Heart Month? 

In addition to Valentine's Day Hearts and other symbols of love, why not take some time this month to learn about the heart that keeps you going every day? I had a checkup and a long talk with my doctor about heart health in December. Don't worry, I'm fine, but it gave me a great sense of relief to know about some of the things I need to watch out for and some options for my future.

Lifestyle changes to incorporate exercise and healthy eating are key to a heart-healthy lifestyle. And, a low dose aspirin regimen with St. Joseph's Low Dose Aspirin taken regularly may help reduce risk of recurrent (second) heart attack or ischemic (clot-related) stroke for some individuals.

 Always talk to your doctor before starting an aspirin regimen.

No matter what your health picture looks like, take a little time to learn about heart health this month! Use as your doctor directs. #putalittleloveinyourheart
