Amie Ricksecker’s blog post “Growing Up Dressed in Lies” has made the connection that children are taught to not lie, yet they are constantly being lied to. The childhood traditions of the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy are all lies. Ricksecker quoted Jeff Hancock’s “The Future of Lying” on the fact that humans lie multiple times a day. Lying has become more of a ritual rather than a mistake. Children grow up to become liars by the time they reach adulthood and can we really blame them? They have been lied to since day one. Lying has become second nature to them.
