My favourite is "Daddy isn't coming hme tonight, because you don't love him enough"
I feel bad when I say it, but the look of relief on his face when I walk through the door every evening....well, it makes it all worthwhile.

I flicked through a book in a charity shop once, called "Lies to tell children"
(or something like that.)
My favourite was "Wine makes mummy clever".

Lies to Tell Small Kids
By Andy Riley of Bunny Suicides fame. Excellent book, my favourite is "your grandmother is a cold war sleeper agent, who is programmed to destroy all humans. her code word is badmington."

That would be a tad harsh
