When my kid was young I decided to tell him that I was going to tell him three lies, but when he grew up he'd know the truth and know why I lied to him. It was the only way I could tell him about Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and Tooth-Fairy.
I've always been super conscious of not telling lies. And it's not like I've never told any, but I can remember most of them. It feels really bad to lie. I also don't talk much, so that helps.
It's when I look at articles saying how often other people lie, I wonder if there is something wrong with me. I also wonder how anyone can trust anyone if they lie so much.
