Whether you just need a moment to yourself, or you don't want to get into a lengthy explanation of something that is going to have a million "Why?" follow-ups, white lies just come with the territory of parenting.
Like telling your kid that the ice cream you're eating is spicy so that they won't ask for a taste, like the mom in this recent viral TikTok.
Maybe you told them that the Paw Patrol DVD was too tired to play and needed to take a nap, because you just couldn't listen to those damn dogs rescue any more baby sea turtles.
Or perhaps you weren't in the mood to have the death conversation yet, and instead of telling them their hamster died, you told them it went on "vacation," and you ran out to find a look-alike replacement.
