What's the most common lie told by mothers?

Reddit best answers...
"We can do that later" Then "later" never comes!

Maybe

That she did a great job cutting my hair.

"Dinner's ready."

"You're such a handsome boy"

"I'll only be 5 minutes" this one is particularly deceptive if they are walking into a shop.

"If you tell me the truth, you won't get in trouble"

We are leaving the house in 5 minutes!

Yep, sat with my Mom for a couple of hours this afternoon. She told me repeatedly how beautiful I am. And I always replied that it is because I have such a beautiful mother. Neither of us believe it, but we still like to say it.

Sometimes they do, but they don't announce it.

Posing this question offends me. My long suffering mother was a saint, who told me all kinds of horrible things about my father...oh, wait.

No, she didn't, but, when we got to a point where her last nerve was getting ready to snap, that was the ultimate threat.

As I say, the ones that do usually just go.

Didn't mean to give the wrong impression.
