27 of the Funniest Lies Kids Have Told
There’s an art to lying about your age. Claiming to be much younger makes you look delusional, but there’s also a danger in claiming to be too old, as one 4-year-old Legoland visitor learned.
The child was determined to enjoy a ride on a mechanical pony attraction, by hook, crook or egregious fib. Unaware that he was already old enough to board the ride on his own, the Lego fan decided to add a few extra years onto his preschool age for good measure, telling the ride attendant that he wasn’t actually four — he just was a very, very, very young-looking 18-year-old. “Everyone within ear shot was rolling,” his parent recalled of the hilarious fiasco.
Redditors have shared other funny stories of the failed fibs of their youth, including tales of DIY skin grafts, sudden blindness and very artistic imaginary friends.
