All parents lie to their kids. How did your parents lie to you. Perhaps you yourself are a parent and lie to your children, tell us about that too.

More a lie my brother and I told his kids at Christmas a few years ago
We'd gone up to the Lake District for a family Christmas holiday and the kids were naturally overexcited. To calm them down, we told them that Santa's little green elves were still watching them.
Roll forward to 8pm on Christmas Eve and we have 3 sobbing children who don't want to go to bed because they are "scared of the little green elves in the bedroom". FML.
Also my friend at work tells her kids that the red light movement sensor on their burglar alarm is a santa cam and that he is watching them when they move. Toddler Meatswipe is being told this genius whopper as soon as she's old enough.

In Leeds there's a gay bar with a big sign outside saying 'ATM HERE'.
Disgusting.

My dad had a splendid 70's goal post moustache
By the 80's it was an awful 80's bank manager moustache. My younger brother, who was about 4, was not deterred and wanted to know how to grow one of his own.
So my dad told him that you needed to pour salt on your top lip so that the little hairs got thirsty and came out for a drink. When they did, you caught them quickly and tied a knot in them, so they couldn't go back in. He demonstrated the knots by showing him the odd grey hair.
Needless to say it ended in a pile of salt, a sobbing child, and a massive bollocking for my lying father from my furious mother.

There's no such thing as 'can't '
I've yet to put it to the test, but I'm pretty sure I can't survive a fall from 10,000 feet(for instance).
