The Lies We Tell Our Kids (part 2)

Here is part 2 of parents and carers in the hills telling lies to their children. When your child refuses to eat their fruits or vegetables, tell them their favorite TV show character eats them, which is what Brussel and Bean told 2½ year old Alfalfa in 1993, if you're dragging your child someplace they normally wouldn't want to go, like the doctor or the dentist, tell them it's a fun location they know of, like what Nina told Star in 2011 after he watched LeapFrog's "The Letter Factory," when your child is afraid of thunderstorms, tell them it's Jesus bowling up in Heaven, which is what Kevin told Chica in 2009, and finally, answer your child when they ask questions about a bedtime story you're reading them, like in 2005, when 5-year-old Ricky asked Reginald about Dr. Seuss' One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.
