Lies told by your parents

We all heard them...whats the best lie your parents told you and what was the reasoning??

Mine--
"When you hear the jingle from the ice cream truck, that means he is out of ice cream"

The jerks just didnt want to shell out any money....

We're doing our taxes!

"We're poor."

To be completely stereotypical, I think this fib is told by all Asian parents not on the West Coast.

my parents were brutally honest.

this is why i was the kid in the second grade telling the other second graders that there was no such thing as santa clause or the easter bunny [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img].

wow, my parents got so many calls from angry parents when I was in first grade and told the class there was no santa, that was sweet.

My parents always lied, they always said "We'll tell you when you are older" to just about every question I asked... WELL! I'm still waiting.

"You can do anything if you put your mind to it"

They left out the part that you also needed to have a crapload of money.
