When kids lie???

I have to say my children are very honest some times to a fault. There are things I would much rather not know about but they know they can tell me anything and we will talk about it be it good or bad. I have two stories I remember of childhood lying. My oldest daughter was about 12 and she told me she was going to the movies with friends. I could tell something was wrong but didn't push it. Before she left she came to me crying saying mom I lied there will be boys at the movies too. It was hard not to laugh because she was crying so hard from guilt but I remained composed we talked it over and she never has lied to me since. Now my middle daughter when she was little was not allowed to cross the street and I caught her. She crossed the street in front of me and I gave her a lecture on doing something she was told not to and she looked at me and said mom I didn't cross the street. We went back and forth for a bit me saying I just was standing here as you crossed she said no. Well anyway she was inside the house for the rest of the day and she learned at that time mom knows it all anyway so might as well tell her.

you can tell to yourself why your child start lying on you.. u think twice or even thrice why he/she need to lie on you...
