I am very open with my kids and I will answer them as honestly as I can for the important stuff...death, birth, love, etc. But I can't say I've never lied to them. We do Santa, so I guess that's lying, although DS1 is just now old enough to start knowing what it is. I may do the tooth fairy, or maybe I'll do a variation where they know it's me.
