"Let me ask you this: Have you ever lied to your kid? Sometimes 7:45 P.M. is really 8 P.M. (also known as JD&amp;#x27;s bedtime.) Sometimes if you brush your teeth you get a super-duper surprise (but by the time JD is done brushing, he forgot about my bribe--good thing, I didn&amp;#x27;t have a &amp;quot;surprise&amp;quot;). Santa and the Easter Bunny are real--see where I&amp;#x27;m going with this? Well, according to this new study 80% of 130 parents that participated admitted to lying to their kids. But when does fibbing turn to lying turn to complete and utter deceptions that have a lasting impact?Laurie Sandell is a contributing editor at Glamour. She&amp;#x27;s interviewed my girl-crush Natalie Portman as well as Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz--she&amp;#x27;s friends with Ashley Judd. She&amp;#x27;s traveled the globe and currently resides in hipster Brooklyn. Fancy, sparkly life, right? Now she has a graphic memoir out called The Impostor&amp;#x27;s Daughter. Laurie always knew there was something different about her father. He switched jobs suddenly, without warning; the same for places that Laurie, her sisters and mother called home. He was distant, erratic and often cold. He had lots of famous friends and was a war hero. In The Impostor&amp;#x27;s Daughter, Laurie writes (and illustrates) candidly about how she was mesmerized by his tales--which at the time she had no idea were tall. It wasn&amp;#x27;t until college, when Laurie attempted to open a credit card and was denied, that she learned the truth about her father. He&amp;#x27;d opened several accounts in her name, ran up the balances and never paid the bills, thereby ruining her credit. This was when Laurie started to unravel deception by deception, one after the other, layered so precisely on top of each other like a neat, never-ending cake. Everything she grew up believing was a lie, so where did that leave her now, as an adult who was raised on such falsities? Check out this revealing interview Dodai Stewart over at Jezebel did with Laurie. And click here to watch a video about The Impostor&amp;#x27;s Daughter--then run out and buy it. Let&amp;#x27;s talk: (Be honest!) Do you ever lie to your kids and to what extent? Have you ever caught your parents in a lie? Have you ever uncovered something about your parents that you never thought was possible? What did you find out and how did it affect you? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
