For this week's weekend challenge, we will take a lighter approach. Below I have listed lies that parents have told their children (https://www.care.com/a/21-best-white-lies-i-tell-my-kids-1303181703). After reading the list, feel free to comment or share some of the lies you have told/been told. Is it ever justified for a parent to lie to a child? I look forward to adding to the list. Have a good weekend!

1.Yes, Daddy Loves Playing Legos - Wake Him Up First!

If you're anything likeSnarky Mommyblogger Amy Sprenger, waking up at the crack of dawn isn't your idea of fun. Sprenger loves her husband, but please -- a girl needs her sleep!

2.I Always Eat A Healthy Breakfast

For Nicole Knepper fromMoms Who Drink And Swear, setting a good example is crucial since getting her kids to eat healthy is mission impossible. Despite admitting (to us) that her mornings typically start off with a cup or two of black coffee, and a handful... or two... or three of dark chocolate chips, she'll occasionally "hog down" a banana just for show.

3.Yes ThereIsA Cub Scout Badge For Washing My Car

TheDadventurousblogger Troy Pattee's son is a Boy Scout, it serves as a great learning tool and can teach him things that he otherwise wouldn't learn. Boy Scouts also serve Pattee with even more opportunities to lie (fib) to his kids in order to make his life a teeny bit easier, oh the simple joys, and lies, of parenthood.

4.The Leftover Desserts Went Bad Again

For Allison Slater Tate ofAllison Slater Tate: In The Picture, leftover desserts are often the perfect breakfast. But, you know, admitting that to kids makes life more complicated for everyone so she opts to tell a little white lie instead.

5.The Ice Cream Truck Music Means They're Sold Out

For most parents, there's no way of getting out of this one -- a delectable treat is coming down the street and nothing can stand in the way of that ice cream cone and your child. However forPeople I Want To Punch In The Throatblogger Jen, a little white lie gets her out of this one.

6. It's Chicken

WhenHot Mess Mom'skids question what kind of food they're eating, she resorts to the classic lie that most parents are guilty of- it's just easier this way.

7.The Fairy Did It

If Russ,The Stay at Homer, has learned anything about parenting; it's that kids don't question fairies. The Bottle Fairy, Diaper Fairy and Monster Fairy have fixed many problems.

8.Your Dad Is Much Smarter Than Me

No he's not. But when Knepper's kids are nagging her about a question or want help with homework or a science project, she claims ignorance and sends them his way. Once they skedaddle to ask their father, she can sneak off with a book and learn more things. BY HERSELF!

9. Oh Sweetie, Gymboree Is Closed

For Sprenger, having three children means attending way too many classes and facing that clown way too many times.

10. I Don't Know How To Work The Wii

They can't play it if nobody can fix it, right? That's the angle Slater Tate plays when the Xbox or Wii encounter major (or very, very minor) technical issues.

11.Of Course I Didn't Throw Away Your Art Project

Since Sprenger's children bring approximately 7,329 pieces of paper home from school each year, some just have to go missing. In her defense, they all get recycled!

12.You Played a Great Game!

When HMM's kids started playing sports, it opened up a whole new territory for lying.

13.The Tooth Fairy Was Too Tired- She Left Your Money On The Kitchen Counter

For Jen, the perfect solution for a forgetful tooth fairy is obviously to put the blame on the person at fault!

14. Your Pink Elmo Shirt Is In The Laundry

After her three-year-old daughter begs to wear the same shirt for the fifth straight day, this response is Sprenger's only option.

15.I Don't Know Why Their Ice Cream Isn't Good

Since her 8-year-old son loves the Oreo crumbles and caramel toppings so much, Slater Tate always orders him sugar-free ice cream at her favorite ice cream shop to balance things out. She just doesn't tell him that part.

16. Hi Santa? It's Emmie's Mom

Epic tantrums from a four-year-old are often solved by a quick phone call in the Sprenger home.

17.Sorry, You're Allergic to Twizzlers

This is a win-win situation for Pattee. He's saving his kids' teeth and health while enjoying a mid-day treat for all his hard work as a dad.

18.No, You Don't Look Dorky in Those Glasses

For Hot Mess Mom, having a confident child is important- and having a child that can see is even more important.

19. The Cat Is Just Hiding

Sprenger's cat, Max, died. And before that, Max moved to Grandma's due to one of the kids' allergies. Now, he's hiding under Grandma's bed...forever?

20. If You Don't Brush, the Dentist Will Pull Your Teeth Out

Not only does this kind of pain terrify kids, but Hot Mess Mom has also found that the idea of eating soup for the rest of their lives and having no teeth is another great source of dental care motivation.

21. Daddy is Allergic to Dogs

Every kid wants a family pet, but being a parent of two is enough work for Jen. When her kids ask if they can get a dog, she has to blame it on someone.
