Children have more intelligence than you give them credit for.
They know there is a difference between FACTS spoken, and FICTION written for their amusement.

You obviously don't know how much intelligence I credit children with!
It is because children have intelligence that we who believe in keeping the age old traditions of story books and fables alive in their minds, what an empty and dreary thing my childhood memories would have been without tales of dragons and goblins and happy ever after, if my parents had rather than spent time telling me these tales, had just said, "there are no such things as Father Christmas, Peter Pan, or Mother Goose.
All through the history of mankind we have had story tellers that weave the tapestry of our imaginations, when we are young we will often believe in these tales. When we become adults we enjoy seeing our own children believing that a prince Charming or brave knight will come to the rescue of those less fortunate than themselves.
If you lack the imagination to stimulate joy in the face of a young child by telling them 'lies' then I feel very sorry for you.
