Fathers who do that think they are just doing innocent pranks, but unless you next show the kid that it was all lies, so they develop skepticism, it's doing a disservice to the kids.

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995.

Which is why mom is always pissed at dad for doing this to Calvin.
Flat-earthers: Write that down, write it down!
There's another strip where Calvin asks where the sun goes when it sets. His dad says it sets in Arizona and that's why it's so hot there. And that's still how I remember that the sun sets to the west.
There's another one where he asks his dad where wind comes from, and to this day when it's windy, I think, "Boy, the trees are really sneezing today."
My mother would always do that. It just lead to me seeing right through her bullshit when I was about five and never trusting anything she said from then on.
