A friend of mine's kid snitched on him when he was in the right. Something similar where 5 and under were free or discounted, and he said to the ticket person she's 5, and she just decided to play a kid game with him. "NOOO DADDDY, I'M 6!" but she actually was 5. He said, no, you're not sweetheart you're 5, and the lady gives him a wink and goes "It's ok, she can be 5 today." He was trying to tell her she actually was 5 and he wasn't trying to cheat them, and she's like "don't worry about it" in a tone that said she was not believing him.

That kid has a future. They understood the premise, found a creative way to use it, then successfully embarrassed their dad. That's S-Tier trolling.

The queue. It's a British thing.

Edit: your one's much better; just adding this edit so people don't miss it ;-)

The headline is about missing a "cue" as in failing to respond correctly, but it's misspelled "que" - which happens to be Spanish for "what", which was the basis for my joke using Spanish question marks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, I got that. I was just primed to make some sort of joke of my own, but didn't have such a good one. I loved your Spanish question marks :-D

Am I the only person who doesn't encourage my 6 year old to lie?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"Never lie!!!"

Knock knock "Are there any Mexicans in this house?"

"YES SIR, they're hiding in my basement to escape your search."

Lying to save five bucks at a corporate chain is fine man. Lying to a local business is kind of shitty. Maybe teach kids when lying is acceptable, instead of arbitrarily deciding all lying is bad.

Nah, yer not alone. we're out here. Just quiet.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

The problem is society massively rewards lying within limits. Kind of like when you make a resume that explains your one week spring break drunken binge as a "Cultural Exchange Opportunity".

And that's exactly why your kid will never make lieutenant.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Thank you. I was so uncomfortable with this as a kid

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Why? I was always so excited when we got away with it...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Dang, your parents had you lie about your age? I know that my parents lied about mine sometimes (which was easy cause I was a tiny kid), but they didn't even want me to know, let alone take part.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Me, too. But now I kinda regret not going along with it. I don't know, it's a weird mixture of angst with the system and a bit of guilt towards my parents

That child is illegitimate.
