When a child, I was told many fibs such as the tooth fairy, eating crusts on toast would make my hair curl, smoking would stunt my growth etc. What fibs were you told.

me dad told me that the sheep on the hills had 2 legs longer than the other so they could balance on the slope. It meant they always faced the same way.

Smoking can actually stunt your growth if you start early enough!
Carrots help you see in the dark,
if the wind changes my face will stay like that ( when pulling faces)
Wiggling a loose tooth will make next tooth grow wonky - mine are all perfectly straight and I wiggled all of mine.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Lies!!!!!!
Chocolate will rot my teeth - NO! not brushing them will rot them!
There were bed bugs and they bit you if you let them.
Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny existed.
If I eat my veg I will grow big and strong - I didn't eat them and I was 5ft 6 and healthy.
Those presents under the bed are for your cousin for christmas.
Not to tell lies or your nose will grow! - my Dads nose was big!!!!

How about the dad who's child wanted a tortoise but wouldn't look after it?
Dad bought a stone tortoise and put it in the garden. He would put food and water in the garden for it and moved it around the garden so the kid thought it was alive. In the Winter, he put it in a box in the shed to hibernate. The one summer, he threw it away and told the kid that the tortoise had run away because he never played with it or looked after it.
The next time that kid had a pet, it got looked after really well!
A lesson taught humanely? No animals were hurt during the lesson!

I fib to my teenagers approximately effective issues like Father Christmas and fairies (as they're 25 and sixteen, they think of i'm a nutter - besides the undeniable fact that they on no account turn down the sack packed with pressies that Santa leaves and can be gutted if he did no longer flow to each Christmas). while i became a toddler my Mum in lots of circumstances went right into a nook shop next to a builder's backyard with a severe fence. She continually made a factor of asserting "it quite is the Naughty college and it quite is the place you 2 will finally end up while you're no longer sturdy". My sister and that i actually believed her. One night as quickly as we've been messing approximately and going out and in of mattress, she completely lost her rag and made us p.c.. a case each and each. She then positioned our coats on us over our pyjamas and phoned a taxi to take us to the Naughty college. We have been crying hysterically and apologising - quite beside ourselves. luckily my dad got here in at that factor and positioned a supply as much because it. i've got on no account forgotten that fib. each and every time she tried to speak to my own teenagers with reference to the Naughty college, I continually made a factor of butting in and asserting "Nanny's telling fibs - no one is authorized to take toddlers far flung from their mothers.". i think that final bit became extremely a fib as Social centers are allowed to yet i wanted my teenagers to have the risk-free practices of understanding that i might continually be there.
