You know, this is basically exactly what my father did for me growing up. I remember he’d tell me something outrageous and I would laugh and go “that isn’t true!” and he would get a big, goofy smile.
one of our favorite things to do as a family was go hide up in one of the upstairs rooms and peek out the window to watch this little family of raccoons play in the yard. i figure that’s why our major childhood lie was that a giant raccoon would gobble us up if we misbehaved.
we thought it was funny and also i bet it would have kept us safe from bears if we actually took it seriously
