Kids are 110% allowed to lie to peers when its none of their darn business. Kids tend to invade privacy and sometimes the only way to manage that is to tell a bit of a lie. Not the same as a malicious lie.
We don't lie period, if it's something we don't want to talk about we politely tell the person " It's not something I am comfortable talking about but thank you for your concern" I don't want to encourage lying for any reason.
Because it's a lie! And unlike some white lies (yes, I loved the fruitcake) it can get you in trouble.
Friend: "Suzy, how's your ear infection?"
Suzy: "Huh? I didn't have an ear infection!"
Friend: "Well, that's what you said last week about why you didn't go swimming."
Suzy: "Oh yeah, right".
Friend to someone else: "Suzy didn't really have an ear infection. I bet she was on her period".
Wearing a wad of cotton in one's ear with an ear infection went out a few decades ago.
You, my dear, are a fallow field. Want some ocean front property near Ogalalla, Nebraska? I'll sell it to you cheap.
What on earth are you talking about? If you think you could pull that off, you really have another think coming. I think these people who are saying "make up some story and embellish it (with a wad of cotton in this case) are the same people who say "I can't drive on that field trip; my grandmother died and I'm going to her funeral that day". Then someone figures out they've had about 10 grandmothers die.

White lies are the new in thing and are everywhere. Until you realize that, I'd suggest you give me all your money and credit cards to hold on to until you wise up. I promise I won't spend any of it.
You are soooo gullible. And you think you're the only one.
For heaven's sake, give her a tampon and put her in the pool! That's the dumbest reason for not swimming I've ever heard. It's not 1950 any more, there is no reason for women and girls to be controlled by their menstrual cycle or to go into seclusion because she is "unclean".
