What sort of lies were you told as a child?

Question

Besides the whole santa and toothfairy thing.

Answer 1

I was told that if I bit my nails, a nail tree would grow in my stomach.

I was a nail biter.

However, I didn't believe that, for I would just bite and throw, not swallow the nails!! Hee hee!! What a waste of a lie!!

:)

Answer 2

My father told me when I was bad, he was going to put me outside with the dog.  It made me afraid of the dark for life.

Answer 3

Ahaha, That you can get pregnant by kissing a guy.

I found out the real thing when I was in 9th grade.

Lol, I was so shocked.

Answer 4

great question! i'm sure there are many, but the one that comes to mind is one that my sister told me, not my parents. when she taught me to play chess, she told me that in the row where pawns go when you're setting up, each one had to be on a specific square, & only she knew which one - so she would make a big deal of putting the pawns on certain squares in their line while i watched in amazement. (for those of you who don't play chess, as long as the pawns are all in a row it makes absolutely no difference which square they're on...)

haha, i guess that sounds weirdly specific & not all that funny, but i look back on it & laugh :-)

(btw, my lie to get back at her when i found out the truth was to tell her that her plastic inflatable chair was made of cow intestine, & she fell for it 100%! :-p)

Answer 5

My mother told me all the vitamins in bread are located in the crust (because she didn't want to cut the crusts off for me).  She also told me our car would not start unless I had my seatbelt fastened.  Parents are such liars!  : )

Answer 6

If you tell the truth, you'll be in less trouble than if you lie.
