Not to hyperbolize like the other commentor, but I was told harmless little lies like that as a child myself. You eventually learn otherwise, but not before embarrassing yourself in front of your peers and feeling betrayed.

Different children will react differently, of course.

Possibly slightly different, but my dad used to amuse himself by trying to convince me of whatever nonsense poped into his head at that moment. My older siblings, who had had the same treatment earlier, joined in and would verify anything he would say. Overall I found it quite harmless, and it did instil a healthy skepticism of whatever people said.

I did this too. Not only did it teach my kid the scientific method (and keep me on my toes) but apparently he considers it a positive experience.

It helped that I had read The Wasp Factory before becoming a parent.
