When a character spends a long time trying to think up a proper explanation/excuse/lie to tell his parents, he expects them either to be floored or to completely misunderstand. When he finally does, the parents already know about it and wonder what the big deal is. Occasionally, the person almost lied about shows up at the house with his own explanation, omitting certain truths.

{{examples}}
== Anime
* Hazumu in ''[[Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl]]'' worries about the reaction to his accident, then finds his parents happily chatting with an alien in their kitchen.
* Tenchi's grandfather in ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' very quickly accepted a whole flock of strangers moving into his house, although this was related to ''his'' secret identity, too.
Line 107 ⟶ 108:
* In ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'', when Bob gets [http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20090811.html chased around] by a [[Humongous Mecha|deadly-looking robot lion]] that Molly built on a lark, he seems more annoyed than actually angry about it, and doesn't tattle on her to Jean.
* Ye Thuza from ''[[Sandra and Woo]]'' does not have a problem with her son Cloud exploring an abandoned factories for treasure, [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/12/10/0119-the-departure/ unless he forgets to pack the rope]. She named her son after an [[Final Fantasy VII|RPG Adventurer Protagonist]] after all.
* The black dragon in ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' mentions that she tried to keep an open mind [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0628.html here.]
* In ''[[Spinnerette]]'' Evil Spinnerette's parents seem entirely unperturbed by her becoming a [[Super Villain]], worshipping an evil goddess, or transforming herself into a half-human, half-spider [[Dungeons & Dragons|drider.]]
* Hasuki from ''[[Moon Over June]]'' was sufficiently annoyed at her parents over her name that she got into lesbian porn for the express purpose of getting back at them. Given that her mother is the sort of person who, during a telephone conversation in the middle of a shoot, reminds her daughter to pace herself so her jaw does not get tired; it is clear that it did not work.
