“Build a safe haven from their what and whys, we shelter their minds with ivory lies, so innocent and sweet, that’s what I adore” just like what Lovehatehero, a band, sings in the song, ivory lies build up a safe place for beautiful things, even if they are lies, ultimately. However, white lies, just like the pure color, are good things. In a family, parents tell little white lies to encourage their kids to behave nicely, for example. A survey found that parents tell their children 3000 white lies on average, just to get their own way as the kids grow up, a Daily Mail reporter said. When all else fail according to 44% respondents, white lies have to be told. There are stories like Father Christmas give presents to good children or,Father Christmas only visit kids who go to sleep and sitting too close to the TV makes your eyes go square, which ranked top three on the list. Parents are finding their ways in raising and taking care of children. In the view of innocence and naïve, children always take those stories coming out from their parents’ mouth serious. Though are stories terrifying mostly, kids grow up under dads and moms' umbrella without sleep-insufficiency and poor eyesight. Sometimes, ivory lies stem from friends’ love for you. Why so? That’s because your friends don’t want you to get hurt and they want happiness and hopes to be around you. Johnsy , a dying woman in O. Henry’s novel the last leaf, said in a shaky voice, “look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn’t you wonder why it never flutter or moved when the wind blew? Ah, darling, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece—he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell”. (page4)Knowing that Johnsy conceives the last leaf as the sign of the end of her life, Behrman decided to paint the last leaf that never falls to keep her life along. I’m touched mostly by Johnsy, actually. She did nothing but try so hard
