I used to think that stars were little till I was about 13 years old. Ya know that old song? "Twinkle, twinkle, little star..." Well I really thought, okay, stars are little, and in third grade, I remember my teacher telling me that the sun was a big star. So I thought the sun was the biggest star, and that all the other ones are little. Then it hit me. My mom was telling my brother about stars, and I questioned all wide-eyed, "Wait! You mean stars are twinkle, twinkle, little??? They're just little because they are so far away?!?!?!?" I don't like nursery rhymes anymore. =P This was great!

I like your fallacy category. I've been influenced by Transactional Analysis (TA) that states at birth (or earlier) you have a tape recorder turned on which first records things like warmth, cold, pain, and emotions. Later on it literally records what parent-figures tell you, parents, teachers, other adults. These become your parent tapes and you either accept them or rebel, but they control your beliefs until you take time to think about them and determine if they need reprogramming. The lucky ones got good parent tapes or bad tapes that they rebelled against. They thereby make fairly good choices based on those tapes until they take time to rethink them. The problem is, one life-time is too short to rethink all the parent tapes you have been given so they will have some influence on you your whole life. Your advice to never lie to children is excellent. They will believe the lie until they have time, if ever, to rethink and reprogram the tape. If their tapes are based on lies, they will make poor decisions until they figure out the tapes are wrong and reprogram them. My oldest son told my yougest daughter that her legs would fall off if she pressed her belly button. She believed this into her mid teens even though she was a straight A student from the beginning through college. After all, her older brother would not lie to her about something as important as keeping her legs attached -- or would he. Jerry Great story. I like your fallacy category.
