The lies you were told as a child.

[The Iron Ninja]

Here's one me dear ole' Grandma told me and my cousins. "If you can kiss your elbow, then you become an Elf"

lol, I spent hours trying to get so far as to just lick it.

Well that just seems like harmless fun more than anything else. Kudos to your grandma.

I was told the water drops on the bottom of the trampoline were fairies trying to keep their wings dry and that they lived in toadstools.
I'm not entirly sure if I ever really believed them though..
Was good fun though haha. How I love fairies.


Also my friend told me that at night if you stand outside in the wind and close your eyes the fairies would come and take you to fairyland. I guess I must have believed all of it because I remember standing outside waiting for the fairies to come take me away o_o

Skills. Hahaha. It was fun while it lasted :]

You sure it wasn't acid telling you these things? lol

 

[bread golem]

good times, but I never did that... oh well. It seems I missed out on so much fun, the truth my be helpful, but it sure isn't fun...

You get that sometimes. I always thuroughly enjoied the whole fairy thing, even after I knew that they probably weren't real.
Eventually I worked out all the myths I was told for myself, then screamed them at my sister waiting until she finally got it through her head. hahaha

Yah, screaming the truth isn't a popular thing to do, but damned fun! But I wish I had just something to go off of, I had no lies, though I also had very few questions, if I wanted answers, I knew where the dictionary was... or even the internet, but that came later...

I remember another!

I used to live on a main road and my mother used to say; "if you go outside the gates by yourself, Gypsies will come and sell you to the circus."

 

[Cahlee]

I dont know if this one has been mentioned, "If you eat the crusts, your hair will go curly"

 

[Stephness]

Oh yeahh!! Funny thing is my sister must have the curliest hair in history and she never eats the crust o_o

Christianity, parents listen to thier kids, teachers care, people are generally good and selfless.

 

[puffbro1]

My dad was a bastard. He used to tell me that when the ice cream trucks siren was on, that meant they were out of ice cream. How mean is that?

 

[Cahlee]

Heh, my grandpa told my brother that he'd get chest hair if he ate the crusts. He ate sandwiches for every meal he could get away with after that.

 

[Jimmyjames]

My dad was a bastard. He used to tell me that when the ice cream trucks siren was on, that meant they were out of ice cream. How mean is that?

HAHAHAHA!!!!! That's GENIUS!! I'm remembering that one.

My dad used to make up wild stories whenever I asked him about something. Example:

"Dad? Why do they call it 'Eggs Benedict'?"
"Well, because in the early days of our country, Benedict Arnold supported the revolution, and he decided that he didn't want to have something English for breakfast. He instead came up with his own. He had chickens and pigs from his farm, so he used those. He had his favorite chef, a Frenchman, come up with a sauce. Finally he put it all on top of an english muffin to insult the British. You see, by putting the eggs and ham on top, he was calling the British 'chicken' and 'pigs'. Then, the sauce is yellow, so he was also calling them 'cowards'. And thats why it's called EGGS BENEDICT."

And that was a true example. My dad used to make up stupid shit like that all the time and I believed every word until I was about 13.

 

[Cahlee]

Another one that comes to mine is that my dog Buffy, got hit by a car. I discovered the horrible truth until about 10 years later that Buffy was mauled to death by our other dog Zoe.

 

[Stephness]

My mother also tricked me into believing that Tinkerbell was ACTUALLY taking my notes...
One day when i was reading one "tinkerbell" wrote back to my mother she finished what i was reading to the exact words.
I clicked and it totally broke my little heart D:

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Besides the Santa thing, my mom telling me if I pissed in the pool, it would turn purple. Found out 8 years later that that was BS.

 

[Hiddlebits]

Somebody once told me that Santa wasn't real. Of course he is real, who else would deliver all my presents?
