'The store was out of cookies.' 'I love the mismatched outfit you picked out.'" And she's far from alone, either. We recently asked our readers on Facebook — that's you! — if they've ever gotten a bit… creative… with the truth for their kids, and we got thousands of responses. Read 26 of the best here. You never know when having one ready will come in handy.
