Mother who feel their children don't appreciate them can add another grievance to the list: half the time offspring are lying to them. A study designed to reveal the truth about lying shows that undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46 percent of their conversations. Sill, mums fare better than total strangers, who are told lies and astonishing 77 percent of the time.

Bella De Paulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia Charlottesville; asked 77 undergraduates and 70 local towns' people to keep a record of all their conversations for a week and jot down whether they lied at any time. De Paulo defined lying as "When you intentionally try to mislead someone", so she would catch the smallest lie.

The students told an average of two lies a day. While the others lied once a day. They said they had been studying when they had been out with their friends. One told his parents that a text book cost $50 rather than $20. So that they would send him extra money. Female students constantly told their plain-looking room-mates that they were pretty. "They're everyday lies," says De Paulo.
