Lie to my children? Hell Yes!

So I read all of the parenting magazines, blogs, articles etc and they all say that you should not lie to your children. That this is the worst thing that you, as a responsible parent raising well rounded moral children, can do.  Well, I say: bah.

We are having trouble with Tuck eating.  He complains that he is ALWAYS hungry and yet when dinner time comes he wrinkles that little nose and tells us "Me no like that". 

And yet, if he thinks Daddy shot it... look out, the plate is licked clean even after thirds.  So yes, we lie. 

Did Daddy shoot that spaghetti?  Sure! 

Did Daddy shoot those chicken nuggets? Oh yeah, it's chicken nuggett season right now and we are stocking the freezer. 

You haven't seen chicken nuggets in the wild?  Well, they are nocturnal.  And they tend to co-habitate with the snipes.  Elusive to say the least.
