Am I the only person who doesn't encourage my 6 year old to lie?

And that's exactly why your kid will never make lieutenant.

The problem is society massively rewards lying within limits. Kind of like when you make a resume that explains your one week spring break drunken binge as a "Cultural Exchange Opportunity".

Thank you. I was so uncomfortable with this as a kid

Me, too. But now I kinda regret not going along with it. I don't know, it's a weird mixture of angst with the system and a bit of guilt towards my parents

Why? I was always so excited when we got away with it...

Dang, your parents had you lie about your age? I know that my parents lied about mine sometimes (which was easy cause I was a tiny kid), but they didn't even want me to know, let alone take part.

"Never lie!!!"

Knock knock "Are there any Mexicans in this house?"

"YES SIR, they're hiding in my basement to escape your search."

Lying to save five bucks at a corporate chain is fine man. Lying to a local business is kind of shitty. Maybe teach kids when lying is acceptable, instead of arbitrarily deciding all lying is bad.
