Would you lie to your kid about santa?

I probably wouldn't. Come to think of it, unless I marry a Christian or something, I'm not sure if I'd even celebrate Christmas with my kids. Maybe I'd give them New Year's presents or something, so I could buy them toys after Christmas for cheaper.

[up] Haha, good plan. But I personally never figured out why New Year's was in the middle of winter. It makes more sense to celebrate "rebirth" on the vernal equinox, doesn't it?

[up][up][up]If I remember correctly, some people don't taste a certain bitterant compound in Broccoli, some people sorta taste it, and others taste it fully. So it may just be that they quite literally have different taste buds. (or not)

As for the question itself...probably not.

Look, you can't make me speak in a logical, coherent, intelligent bananna.

Either way, if you say "this tastes good" you have made a scientifically falsifiable statement that it takes kids no time at all to prove or disprove. If you said "most kids like this, so you might like it too" you've established a statistic, which while verifiable, means you can be wrong without being a liar.

Also, I'm sorry that your child is a horrible mutant that dislikes broccoli.
