Lies We Tell Kids

Paul Graham: Adults lie constantly to kids. I'm not saying we should stop, but I think we should at least examine which lies we tell and why.
I've gotten old enough that I now understand why adults seek to escape reality. Paradoxically, I think I was better at escaping reality when I was younger. |

Oh, I thought this article was going to be about why we tell kids there is a Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Stork, and Tooth Fairy. Really, what would happen if I told my little Ghost the truth? Probably get suspended from school after they make the rest of the class cry... even if they have mathematical proofs to back it up. |
