Of course we'd love to be 100 percent honest with our kids all the time, but sometimes a little fibbing goes a long way. So tell us, which of these white lies has crossed YOUR lips?
"Of course the tooth fairy is real!"
"Sorry, hon, the toy store (or zoo, or park ...) is closed today."
"If you don't eat your broccoli, you'll stay little forever."
"Your goldfish isn't dead, he's just taking a nap."
"Don't cross your eyes, they might stay that way."
