yes! the cheeky things lied about lying. They told me my tongue would go black if i lied.
However, the best lie i heard a parent tell a child was that when the ice cream man plays music, it means he's run out of ice cream!!

In the summer when I was young, my mom told me that she couldn't set up the swimming pool (inflatable and filled with loads of buckets with hot water, because we didn't like it cold) if there were clouds in the sky. Because the weather could turn if there were clouds.
All the time during the summer, my friends and I were searching the sky to see if there were clouds (which there almost always are!!)
Much later she told me that she didn't like the hassle of setting up the pool all the time, and that was why she told us that story.
She got away with it!! Good for her!

My mum told me that if I swallowed my chewing gum it would stick to my ribs!!!
My gran used to say all sorts of daft stuff - eating bread crusts would make your hair curl, there were starving children in Africa who would love my leftovers, that kind of thing. While we're on the subject of lies, she also told me she could tap dance but I never saw the evidence of that either!

When I was very young, my grandfather told me that the giants in the sky sometimes banged heads (thunder) and cried a lot (rain).. my youngest child, 4, believes the tale.

LOL, all parents tell their kids something like that..
I told my son that butter came from butterflies and chocolate milk came from brown cows...
He said, "No way".... I then told him I was just kidding....

don't pull the plug out while you're in the bath or you'll go down the plughole
it'll feelk better in the morning ( when I was ill)
if you pull a face and the wind changes it'll stick (it never did)
one day you'll like you sister ( I still really don't)

My Dad told me that if I stuck a stamp on upside down I would be done for treason, sent to the tower of London and beheaded! (I was quite deeply traumatised by it - have a real thing about stamps now!)

Yes, I have freckles and hated them as a child, my mom used to tell me that by the time I was 21 they'd have all disappeared, not so but I forgave her and still laugh about it now.
