Should You Tell A Kid To Lie, If He Didn't Like His Christmas Gift?

And if the gift-giver follows up by asking "So do you like it?" are you going to teach your kid to tell the truth and say no? Dumb IMO.

I see nothing wrong with telling white lies. It's a necessary social skill that they'll never acquire unless they practice. A superior person knows when it is appropriate to lie and when it isn't. Inferior people see everything in black and white.
