Above was submitted by Puck and is the featured belief over at i used to believe.
I know that we have to answer the whys and wherefores our kids ask. And there are times when we, adults, do not even know how to explain everything. However, I do not think a lie such as the above is the way to do it. Especially when you let your child believe that this lie is the truth for a long time.
In my opinion, if our kids need us to explain something, we should. Sometimes, we have to be creative so that they could understand better. And other times, we have to simplify things. But to give our kids BS answers such as the above example is just plain irresponsible.
What about you? What do you think?
