Listen to a discussion about the lies that parents tell children and whether that's a good or bad thing - hear a strong Scottish accent, and learn some useful vocabulary too. Before you listen, review this vocabulary:

a white lie - a lie we tell without meaning to hurt someone
distortion of the truth - changing or bending of the truth
malicious intent - doing something deliberately to be cruel or to hurt someone.
societal norm - accepted or ‘normal’ way something is done in society
