Answer 1

Gee, lets see. Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Wishing on falling stars, rainbow pots of gold. I think we all do.

Answer 2

Sometimes to comfort them, yes. For example, my 4 year old girl is terrified of thunder and lightning (she's been through 3 hurricanes in the past 2 years), and the only thing that has calmed her so far is telling her that the thunder is just the angels in heaven bowling and the lightning is God taking their picture (the flash).

Answer 3

I don't have children, but my brothers are both more than 10 years younger than me,and I now have two young nieces. I don't fib to them in ways that will cause them confusion later - such as the boys have bellybuttons and girls don't. But I sometimes fib to them about things such as when I'm watching them I'll tell them I'll leave them somewhere if they don't behave...

Answer 4

No. I have enough fun without lying to my kids. They will have enough trouble without my making life harder for them.
