 Don't lie to me. I bet you do. Most parents tell a few little white lies. There's apparently, I came across a Reddit thread that has people revealing the little white lies they tell their kids to get them to behave. The title of the thread is, What's the most unethical parenting hack you know? Some are pretty clever. Like, how about this one? We told our daughter that kids' ears turn red when they lie, but only parents can see it.
