To think mums are some of the best liars out there?

Not in a bad way - I mean the little lies we tell to keep the peace, protect feelings, or just get through the day.

“The park is closed.”
“The iPad’s out of battery.”
“That’s what the doctor said.”
“You won’t like it, it’s spicy.”

AIBU to think mums become expert-level fibbers and sometimes it’s a survival skill?

That’s a lovely picture. Yes that does look just like Mummy!

I’m still struggling with the Santa lie!Ds is so alarmingly rational. He was three when he asked my why gran had just died but Santa gets to live forever.

I can feel my lie losing traction every time the subject comes up and I am going to crack one day!
