Have you ever lied to your kid? Of course you have. In a survey, 84 percent of parents admitted to lying to their kids about once a month. But you don’t want to make lies a daily part of your repertoire. Nancy Darling, a professor of psychology at Oberlin College, says children of parents who fib frequently are better at deception themselves - and employ it more often.
So, we asked listeners for the lies that were told to them as kids by their parents and siblings? Lots of lies about the boogey monster, and about being adopted. Poor Mary was told by her brother that if she got a second stye on her eye, she would die. Hence the popular catchphrase "Two stye and you die".
Our wedding planner Karl was in with us today to let us know how plans are coming along. Next week on the show, we'll be meeting a different bride everyday who will be given the chance to sell herself to the listeners and to potential grooms! The only thing is - the Beat Breakfast crew won't see the bride either before the wedding!
Cheese or No Cheese was Oxegen related today. Cheese was the Pet Shop Boys with "Always On My Mind" and No Cheese was Blur with "The Universal". The winner - with 62% of the vote - was the Pet Shop Boys. Yay! I'm back on form!
