Parents Are Sharing The Hilarious White Lies They Tell Their Children On Twitter

We all remember the little white lies we were told as children. And the absolute shock and deceit that we felt when we discovered the little things were all one big fat lie.

How could they!?

Although anyone who has kids can kind of relate to the need to tell little white lies every now and again - kids just have SO many questions.

A post on Twitter by This Morning BBC radio presenter, Dan Walker, has gone viral.

Apparently 9 out of 10 parents say 'white lies' are the secret to a happy life. What are the fibs you've told your children? #PetHeaven

He posted to the social media site asking parents to reveal the fibs they have told their children.

And the results are gas.
