Kids lie about a lot of things. Broken lamps, missing homework, mysterious messes that definitely weren’t their fault. Most of the time, parents see right through it. But…every once in a while, a kid tells a lie so perfectly timed, and so confidently delivered, that it somehow… actually works.

We asked Lubbock residents to confess the childhood lies they told that they somehow got away with. Some are harmless, some are hilarious, and a few are honestly impressive.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Honestly, the wildest part of all of this is realizing that our parents probably knew the truth the entire time and just let it go to keep the peace. My morning show partner forced me to admit a lie on-air this morning when we went through this question, and my mom was texting me not 10 minutes later, telling me she “already knew.” My cover is blown. Held onto that one for 19 years…
