So, along the lines of the other thread, what white lies have you told your kids? I am constantly making stuff up when they ask questions, my favorite is...
When my daughter was little we were heading to the mall, she asked why they call it a mall. I told her that a long time ago a man had a big piece of land, he built a large building and decided to put some stores in it. When his partner asked him what stores he wanted he said, "Get 'emall"
I've told my son that planes fly because they are filled with helium.
I got a call from a telemarketer once at the dinner table, I answered it and proceeded to pretend that I was talking to the President ("yes, Mr. President." "I wouldn't do that Mr. President.") My daughter was quite impressed, the telemarketer was quite confused.
