What’s The Craziest Lie You’ve Ever Told?

We’ve all lied to our parents at one time or another. Whether it was that time that you got the car towed and told the rents your BFF was driving (and you were being responsible because you had a drink!), or the time when you came home at a ridiculous hour after being at your BF’s (or booty call’s) house and said you were taking care of a crying friend who just got dumped – and she gave you her brother’s clothes to wear home – we’ve all committed the sin.

And why not? It’s easier than dealing with the yelling/door slamming.

I know I’ve done it. After getting pulled over for speeding while jamming out to Brit Brit in my car, my parents were absolutely furious. So I said I got my period and it was such a mess that I needed to get somewhere fast! They understood (if my dad sticking his fingers in his ears and walking out of the room counts as understanding) and, although still weren’t happy, it did bring a lot of the screaming to an end. (Sorry, mom and dad.)

We never want to disappoint our parents, so rather than see that look on their face or get the silent treatment, we make up a story. Some are minor (“I have no idea why that vodka bottle is filled with water!”) and others cause a whole slew of problems/law suits (“Uh, I fell asleep while getting this tattoo and he put 56 stars on my face!!”), but we all do it for one reason: fear of the parental wrath.

Parents are scary, we get it.

So we want to know: what’s the craziest lie you’ve ever told and gotten away with? Did you ever fess up? Share your stories below.

And a sidenote: A big thanks to Kimberley Vlaminck whose tattoo mishap has made us look like model children. Whenever we eff up from here on out, we can always say, “Ok, so maybe I backed into a mailbox, but at least I didn’t tat my face!”

    I told my parents that I was watching a movie one night and that's why I didn't get home until 2. What was I really doing? Smoking pot for the first time and eating an entire tube of cookie dough.

    My sophmore year in hs, I went to one class, and cut the other 5 periods. A chick snitched, and I told my mom the 'best' lie ever. As in I got my period and it was all over my jeans and I stayed in the bathroom then when school was out I ran to the buses. Oh and I got some ketchup, and a can of tuna. Greaaat.Not to mention I left the school to go have A LOT of fun.

    They never discovered the vodka bottle was filled with water.

    In grade 10 my friend and I snuck out to join our high school for the annual end of the year Tequila Sunrise where we drink all night and try to stay up to see the sun rise. My dad called me at 6am wondering where I was. Meanwhile I'm in some dude's tent still drunk as a skunk. When he picked me up he asked me why I had a bag of clothes. I told him a garbled story of running away and needing some time to myself. Either he bought it or knew I was too drunk to respond but he dropped me off at home before I went to the last day of school rip roaring dunk!

    I told my mom that I lost one of the 24 carat gold & diamond earrings she got me for my birthday when I was at a concert and the back (which was loose) fell off and the earring fell out.

    I really did go to the concert, but I got so schwasted afterwards I woke up with no idea where I was and with my earring mysteriously gone.

    I told my mom that i was going on a 3 day college business industrial visit all over my state and instead went off alone for a mini holiday to another state full of beaches, partied and hung out with hippies and came back :)

Tell us what you're thinking...
