There might be a million stories in the naked city, but there are also gazillions of lies which parents tell, albeit for 'the best intentions'. The lies are usually cased by fear or inadequacy on the parents part. All the little white lies do is to teach the young 'ens about fear, and how to lie. More important than who is telling them lies is who is telling them the truth. Most children inherently want to be brave, and the rebel at being taught fear.
No offense intended, but I did ask for some specific lies. Could you please give me just a few examples of the lies you are talking about?
Correct me if I,m wrong, but are you saying it is the parents who are the ones lying? I think rock stars and hollywood types may be even more prone to lying and giving incorrect information.
