What's the biggest fib you've told your children?

HOW often do we lie to our children? (Mummy hasn’t got the money for that today/No the Barney ride is broken/The Tooth Fairy must have been held up/You came along when Mummy and Daddy had a ‘special cuddle’)

Then we tell them it’s wrong to tell fibs – is there really any harm in the little white lies we tell our children or are we doing any damage? Erm, I'd really like to think not!

So come on, own up, what's the biggest porker you have ever told them? Here's hoping it's not as cruel as those rogues who say the ice-cream man only plays his music when he's ran out of stuff to sell!

Lots more food for thought here.
