Ever wonder how parents explain weird superstitions, awkward questions, and totally made-up facts to their kids? We did too, so we made a podcast about it. Join our family as we laugh through the myths we believed, the things our parents told us and the hilarious half-truths and lies we’re now passing down to protect our kids. Join the family as we dive into cultural quirks, parenting fails, and the stories that somehow become family folklore. A little chaos, a lot of laughter, this is What We Tell the Kids!
