Unicorns

With the kid I have I tend to err on the side of honesty, but if I should have another kid I think it would be interesting to lie to him or her and see how long it lasts. And I don't mean like Santa or the Tooth Fairy. I mean like explaining that many, many years ago there were unicorns, but humans hunted them nearly to extinction. So the unicorns had to evolve to live in the ocean where it was harder for humans to find them; which is how the narwhal came to be. I bed I could keep that lie rolling through at least middle school.
