Tooth fairy, easter bunny, demons, vampires(actually that was my grandmothers friend) theres other stuff i just can't think of any
oh and leprechauns
I think it did enhance childhood even if it was to scare us half the time just because it makes things seem more whimsical
We have the rest of our lives to find out how boring the real world is
Kinda like that movie Big Fish

Oh, several things. My parents insisted that the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny were real, but other than that they had some pretty wacky lies. For instance, the other kids were 'just jealous' of my self-haircut (I saw pictures... it was a doozy!). My dad had me convinced that people didn't grow up, they grew down and were the right height when their feet touched the ground, which made me feel better for not being able to reach the cookie jar. I used to be interested in our chainsaw, so my mom told me that it liked to eat little kids so I would stop trying to play with it.
Mainly they lied about money not being tight, so I never had to worry about the sacrifices they were making to give me lunch money and new shoes and clothes and Christmas presents. That made my childhood so much more fun and took a lot of weight off of my shoulders - even though I never got an allowance and was mad at them for that.

Can you prove there's no Santa. The lie is that there's no Santa. The truth is that Santa exists in all of us.

They didn't realize they were repeating the mythical story of Jesus.
