Oh hahahahahah! I’m always trying to scam the children’s menu system, but my husband and certain kids are too honest/oblivous/verbal to let me succeed. So funny.
Hahahahaha! That is priceless! I think every parent in the world has tried that one at one time or another. Love the detail…little devil/angel in the eyes…so good.
I’ll never forget when I went fishing with my family once and a park ranger came upon us. He asked how old I was and I hesitated a few minutes before I admitted I was 16, so we got a ticket because I didn’t have a fishing license (in California, at least, anyone over 15 needs one). It was funny because my step-dad couldn’t exactly be upset with me for not lying, but I still felt really bad.
This sure brought back memories! My mother always asked me to lie on the bus, so she wouldn’t have to pay my fare. I never did. I was a rebel at three!
My parents used to try to pass me and my older sister off as twins to avoid paying for an extra room in hotels. We’d wear identical shirts and stagger our entry. Oh, the deception.
I got carded for an R rated movie when I was 21 and was pretty mad about it. Maybe I should have used my youthfulness more strategically when I was younger.
Funny!! But that’s why I always just bite the bullet and pay…don’t want to teach the kids wrong because for those kids that are very tall for their age (which we have several), they will honestly say their age without all the drama.
So funny! Love the comments too. Thankfully my son gave me a heads-up in the car before we went in to get his haircut–he was now 11 and he’d be charged the adult price. I knew he’d tell them too and he did. Embarrassment averted.
LOL too funny. As the oldest sister (married and moved out of my childhood home) I often take my younger siblings out and ALWAYS force them to use the kids’ pricing whenever they’re close to the limit. So glad I found this blog!
Good for you for being honest! Out of the mouths of babes… you knew at that age a scam was afoot and that you didnt’ want to be part of it. :)) I’m a youngest sister btw.
These are amazing! That must be so fiddly to do. They’ve been making me chuckle and distracting me from work. Both good things (unless you’re my manager) :)
I actually told my daughter, once, that I could not quite recall her age and that she should tell the waitress what SHE recalled….which should be 7…or 6. She was 8, too! LOLOL!! The things we do to save a little money!!

It’s a parent’s deepest hope that they raise their children to be honest, honorable people. Except…you know.
It happens all the time! LOL!
HAHAHAHA… i knew it! facial reaction gave it away….. so creatively illustrated!!! ha ha ha.. :)
Loved it! hahahaha!

I wish there was a LOVE button – this is too cute!!
Oh! Poor girl!
The truth will out.

DAMN it, Chrissy! Hahaha!
How could this be better?
Rhetorical. It can’t be.
Cute!
We used to hide in the back of our station wagon so we wouldn’t have to pay at the drive-in movie:)
How humiliating; brought back a memory or two of my own!
I have a new age-reporting dilemma. I can say I’m a senior to get a discount – but I don’t want to tell anyone I’m a senior!
Too funny!!! :-)

Great post.
hahaha! The facial expression of the parents is priceless!
This is great!!
Hahaha, that’s hilarious! :D
I’ve totally lied at Disneyland to say my younger sons were twins so we’d get them both in for free. :/

I love the good angel/bad angel detail in her eyes! Loved this. :)

I cringe to think that we did this with our kids too! Oh those eyes. Brilliant, as always Nicole!

Guilty and can relate. Luckily, I was able to tell my daughter to “shush” in Tagalog before she spilled the proverbial beans. Too funny not to reblog!
