In the vein of many recent publications (and a funny article recently read) I was wondering what white lies we were told as children and/or now tell our children??
For me I was told and haven't used (yet!):
I'm going to see a man about a dog - I was traumatised when that dog didn't materialise!
Santa's broken his leg and won't be coming this year! (Evil parents!)
Crusts make your hair curl.
Carrots help you see in the dark (didn't help my blind bunny did it?!)
If you pick your nose your brain'll fall out!
Lie's I was told and use: :blush:
Don't play with your bellybutton - if you accidentally unscrew it your bum'll fall off!
The stork delivers babies - doesn't wash with the 7 year old who announced he knew it wasn't the stork, cabbage patch or the flying baskets as in 'The Grinch'!!
You're not to trample on small fungi as they're fairies homes and where would they go then?
New one's I tell my 2:
(This time of year) We have to go and see Father Christmas to give him the presents we have collected, as instructed, and to get the next list as he's very busy and getting on a bit! In fact, we're off to the cinema every Sunday morning!!! (feel a little guilty - not much mind!)
I personally know the Tooth Fairy - this works as I was a Dental Nurse until the kids arrived!
I heard this one recently and will use it next year: when the ice-cream van plays music, it means he's run out of ice-cream!! :rotfl:
