Parents, I have bad news for you. Your kids are smart and will lie to you so that they leave the house on December 31^st. Here are some of the famous lies you will hear during that time

1. Tunaenda Kesha. Your child knows that you won't question religious themed nights. What you don’t know is that your child has another pair of clothes at their friends place . Wanaenda kudunda!!
2. “We are going for a sleepover. ...and their father is a pastor”. Your child knows how to bypass all your suspicions. Once you hear pastor, you are likely to say “Unataka pesa ngapi?” When your child comes home smelling of wine, don’t believe them when they say that’s church wine.
3. “I don’t drink”. Hahahaha... parents, at what age did you start drinking? You have your answer
4. “Sijawahi enda disco”. Okay, who still calls it disco? Look, there is a good chance that your child learnt the Odi dance from Jam Session
5. “I don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend”. That’s their motivation for going to the Kesha
6. “I'll be back after the fireworks”. Hahahah. Lies
7. “Sermon ya jana ilikuwa about forgiveness ...halafu tulisoma John 3:16”. This is just the default lie
8. “Ata siskii kulala” when their eyes are red. Hiyo ni hangover
9. “Nitakuwa number one next term/semester”. This is called bargaining. Read that again.
10. “Siendi tena mpaka next year 31^st”. Uwongo!!
