Sarah lied to the angel because she was afraid (Genesis 18:9-15). When told she would have a long-awaited child, she instinctively laughed at the idea because she was, by then, 90 years old(Genesis 17:17), but the angel was very clear that NOTHING is impossible for God. His rebuke was a reminder to Abraham and Sarah, and to anyone reading The Bible throughout the centuries that followed, that NOTHING is too extraordinary for God.(Matthew 19:26/Luke 1:37/James 1:5-8). Sarah's son was appropriately named "Isaac", meaning 'laughter'(Genesis 21:1-7).

Sarah lied about laughing when she overheard the angels because she was afraid. She likely did not want to admit her doubt or fear to Abraham or the angels because she felt embarrassed.
