Is there a parent out there that hasn’t told at least a little white lie to their child? I’m thinking no.
People took to Twitter to talk about the lies (some small, some big, some pretty strange!) their parents told them when they were growing up.
What lies were you told growing up? Did you tell the same ones to your kids? Feel free to share in the Facebook comments!

I was 6. My mum told me it was illegal to feed squirrels. She just didn't want me to go near squirrels. When I qualified as a lawyer I tried to find the relevant statute. There wasn't one. I'd been warning people for years that they'd go to prison. #LiesYourParentsToldYou

When the ice cream van plays music it's to let everyone know they've run out

My mother told me you had to be ++quiet when baking or the cake would collapse. I only worked it out 2 years ago. I’m nearly 40 by the way.

My mom told us that @ChuckECheese was only for parties so we couldn’t go unless invited to a birthday party, needless to say I never got to go until I took my own son 🙃 #LiesYourParentsToldYou
