We should probably also explain our existing child hood stories a little better. For example, when I heard "the boy who cried wolf" it was basically explained as "don't waste people's time". When I tell it to my kids I use it to explain credibility and how people react to it, and as an example of a logical fallacy (just because the boy was a liar doesn't mean what he says is always a lie).
