LIARS!!

People lie to children constantly. My mum used to lie to me all the time to get me to eat my food.

Lie No.1. Eat your carrots, they make you see in the dark.
No they don't! It's just something parents know a kid will want to be able to do, how does a carrot even resemble seeing in the dark?

Lie No.2 If you eat your crushs it will make your hair go curly.
But I out smarted you all!! "But mummy I want my hair to be straight, not curly."

Lie No.3 You are what you eat.
You say this to a little girl when she won't eat ham shaped like a dinosaur, she is then going to eat the dinosaur isn't she?

I for one think whoever came up with these lies is genius, but parents tell their children not to lie so who is really in the wrong? The kid who won't eat their food or the lying parent?
