parent tells lies to child

normally i can't said lie to my child . when she was 2 and half year that time i sometimes said oh, eat this fast otherwise lion come here and eat ur food like that . but i don't think it is lie , because if i said same sentence today (she is 4 and half years ) she said ,"no mom lion is live at jungle "

Yes sometimes we can lie to our children...when we want to make them surprise....or affraid that our own children can spread gossip that will harm our family,,,,
