The BEST Lies Parents Tell Kids

"If you keep making that face, it's going to stay that way!"

"If you sit that close to the TV, you'll go blind."

"Don't swallow the watermelon seeds or you'll grow one in your tummy!"

Or my personal favorite, "I'm going to send this picture of you to Santa if you don't behave, and he's going to bring you a lump of coal for Christmas..."

These aren't even lies on this list, they're just SOME of the many I heard growing up! Check out the best parent lies right here.
