Mom? Are you planning a surprise party for me for my birthday? I think telling my kids things for their enjoyment is ok. I don't believe me or my siblings were

  > Mom? Are you planning a surprise party for me for my birthday? How would you feel if you did have a suprise party? / No, but would you like me too? / No, but would that be ok for a future birthday? What do you think I would tell you if you asked me that and I was planning a surprise party? Or if I wasn't? You don't have to answer all their questions. Personally, I'd say, no, I don't like surprise parties, so I'm not going to plan one for someone, but for the sake of argument, I'll pretend I might.

    “If I told you it wouldn’t be a surprise any more, would it?”

    You are not actually answering him, because you know that if you are planning a surprise party and you just answered yes, you would have ruined the party. The truth is that not every lie is a problem.
