Yes i do and it wasn't little white lie either! They took me to boarding school (As a boarder) when i was 7 years old. i didn't want to go, was crying i didn't want to stay, wanted to go to school with my friends (Not at boarding school). They told me it was for me! They wanted me to do really well and in boarding school i would and i'd make great friends, also that the nuns would be better than my treachers were.
I didn't make many friends, nuns were no better than teachers, in fact they were nasty! And it turned out that they were not looking forward to my excelling at school but simply keeping me out of the way while they got on with the nitty gritty of divorce. They never told me about that either! It was a nun who explained i couldn't go home at the week-end because my parents were getting a divorce! I felt totally crushed, abandoned and so scared! To make it worse i realised then that even parents told lies! That was another downer!

I used to get that ice cream van tale too... Another was that it was selling meat today and not ice cream.

My mother told me that Jesus was coming to destroy all the wicked and that I must not make friends with people at school becuase they were unbelievers and would be dead soon.
She meant well, so I guess that makes it a 'white lie', but it screwed me up good and proper!

They told me that the coin-op electric meter in the cellar was my money box! And that the box on the back of a satellite dish was a council house!

Yeah, Santa and Tooth Fairy. Oh yeah and that when it thundered Peter Pumpkin was up there rolling his pumpkins. And when it snowed it was Mother Goose plucking her geese. Ha Ha Ha.

they loved to tell me that they were always first in class and they were the brightest. That just turned me into a nerd cos i wanted to prove a point, till i turned thirteen and realised they were talking a lot of crock and they were probably one of the dumbest kids in their class!

my mum told me that babies came out of your belly button, I was off sick one day when I was about 8 and watching school programs that were on TV while mum was hanging the washing in the garden and I learnt the truth, I was traumatised for days when I realised where they really come out of!

Your mother is very clever. That is cute.
Yes, my parents told me white lies all of the time. AND I always believed them.

When i asked my mum where babies came from she said she found them in a cabbage at the bottom of the garden. Being only little at the time i never questioned how? cos we didnt have garden...............sad but true
