An Ottawa parent is sharing a story about a boldly delivered lie from their own home. This week, a young child allegedly insisted, with a straight face, that "my little brother peed my pants" — despite the parent knowing full well who was responsible. The anecdote is being shared as a humorous example of the audacious excuses young children invent, resonating with other parents familiar with similar blame-shifting tactics.

• There's a lot of audacious lies out there but I think one of the boldest I've ever heard was told to me in person this week, with a straight face, from a small person who nonetheless, knows I know better: paraphrasing, it goes: "My little brother peed my pants." # parenting · cassey@ottawa.place · 2
