There's a great thread over on Jezebel where commenters share the memorable lies their parents told them. Some lies are for the good--like Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and that mysterious "farm" beloved family pets suddenly pack up and migrate to. Some lies are so sweet and clever I plan on using them on my own child--one woman's father sent her back to bed after a nightmare with the advice "just flip your pillow over, it changes your dreams." Aother good one: there's a special chemical in pool water that will make it turn purple if you pee, so everyone will know. So what are your best childhood fables?
