I love the lies kids tell each other in elementary school. My daughter is convinced her buddy at school has a lion at home.

Maybe her mom and dad are zoo keepers

It's a lion. Miniature and very much resembling an orange house cat but I can get behind the bigger picture. House lion.

I moved from California to Wisconsin as a kid and told my friends we had eight days a week in California, not seven. And they believed it! Well, honestly, I did too.

... you're gonna have to let that lie, uhh, lie... you don't wanna mess with the dynamics of elementary school ... 'sides, you don't know for a fact that kid does not have a Lion at home... unless you make an impromptu home visit

Early in grammar school my friend Susan said she had a monkey. Everyone was like that’s the coolest thing and I thought, “I don’t think you can have a monkey.” She brought her monkey to show and tell.

I treasure the opportunity to view the world through my grandchildren’s eyes. It gives me joy, hope and really livid resolve. I wonder what that child is reading. ☺️

In first grade a neighbor boy said he had a hatchet and was going to chop my house down. I believed him, told my parents and then never saw him again.

In elementary school my friend insisted that he had a robot that did his homework and got genuinely enraged when I wouldn’t believe him.

Sadly plausible now

"I wanna see it!!!!" "You can't my parents said I can't have guests over 'cause the lion might eat them." Ironclad defense.

…one might daresay, a lionclad defense

Back in fifth grade, this one girl had me convinced she had a pet monkey

My Youngest came home early once when they were six because they were so distraught the school thought they were ill. A 'friend' had told them that all violent video games were being banned forever so they'd never get to play them when they were older. It took us days to defuse that one. Little git.

That is so great! My brother had imaginary friends when he was little.

I once found out a kid I coached didn’t want to transfer to my sons K-8 when he hit sixth grade because another kid from the K-8 got claimed he’d been stabbed there. First kid’s mom accepted the story as gospel. [To clarify, no one has ever been stabbed at my son’s K-8]

The amount of people who keep exotic cats is ridiculous. I believe the kid. 🤷♀️ Also could be a very large stuffed animal. 🦁

My daughter, when 2 and a half, told a new classmate that the whole class was meeting at McDonalds on a random Thursday night. Poor kid had his parents schlep him across town to see nobody. She hadn't even been to any McDonalds. Kids can be little sociopaths.

In 2025, I believe that child has a lion at home.

I was obsessed with komodo dragons. Have you seen video footage of one of them running.

My father told us he was a lion tamer. I'm sure we told our friends at school.

Elementary school kids lie?!? Next you’re gonna tell me Martin from 4th grade was lying when he told me his dad works in Japan and that Pokémon are real there

It's funny when kids learn to lie but have yet to learn how to lie convincingly, and WHO you can lie to. I recall being 7 telling my mom that we learned there was a new letter in the alphabet at school. Don't know why. Just wanted to try I guess. She didn't buy it. But another kid might have!

My 6yo son had a huge falling out with his buddy because his buddy said he had a thousand Pokémon cards and “there’s no way, because that would fill an entire house.” 😆

As someone with over a thousand Pokemon cards, I can confirm it feels like it fills the entire house (exaggerating, more like it feels like it fills my entire room).

I told my kid I invented K-Pop. Probably won't end well for me

My first-grader was crestfallen on Friday when his school friend didn’t bring him a gift PS5 as promised the day before.

In a few weeks, you may be the father that works at Nintendo and brings home all the new games for your daughter to play, but she can't show her friends because they haven't been released publicly yet.
