That's going to backfire one day.

RIP child's trust.

Not to mention, I mean…other kids talk about how they don’t go to school on those days? Now, yes, I am a super sleuth and a genius, but I’m starting to get the inkling that there’s some fishy, dubious lies going on here.

When younger, my parents made me believe in Santa Claus. Most other kids were believing in it too, and I was getting more Christmas present. So it was cool and fair, even if not true.

But here, the person is lying to his kid to get away with something. Not cool.

But no one else is lying to their kids about this. So the game would be up pretty quick when any other kid in school talks about the weekend. Which…they all will.

What age are kids in 'pre-k'? I'm imagining like 3-4 years old? I wouldn't be surprised at that working with some kids that age. Not saying I think the story is true necessarily, but just that young kids are very trusting, don't always put together information they get in different settings, and don't really discuss weekend plans with each other much.

Why should someone on the Internet lie? nobody does this. /s

4 years olds according to Lemmy: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/887/981/2cf.jpg

Actual 4 years old: Dying a slow and painful death because they don't have their favorite Dino nuggie shape on their plate.
