How do I get my Kindergartener to quit telling lies?

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get my Kindergartener to quit telling lies? He is telling stories at both home and at school and we don't know anymore what to believe as truth! Any ideas?

Well it is a phase. I told my ds the story about the boy who cried wolf. This seemed to help a bit but other than this I don't have any real advice except I know how annoying it is

Hi

See the post above re child stealing for something I did when my 5/6 year old told me a lie for the first time deliberately. It is really aimed at when they know its a lie and tell it to get themselves out of trouble or rather not into trouble!
