This was posted on MSN and while it's amusing, I don't recommend lying to kids to get them to start or to stop doing things. There are better ways to do this. What are you going to say when they discover you lied? After all, you told them a thousand times not to lie, didn't you? You need to practice what you preach - to walk your talk - and to set a good example. They will remember. The short term gain is not worth it.
