- Most outrageous / unbelievable lies
- Most offensive / dangerous lies
- Most “adult meant it as genuine advice but it’s laughably out of touch” lies
- Lies you wish you still believed
- Lies you took as truth and didn’t question it until you were way too old
Oh lmao the spots on your tongue thing is ancient. Transient lingual papillitis, also called “lie bumps”. Ton of cultures share the myth that you get them from lying - we don’t know what causes them (and fuck do they hurt) and they’re rarely talked about, so it’s always weird to run into that in the wild; it seems so absurd you’d never expect it to be as widespread as it is.
Please don’t hurt me but it is literally illegal to do that in my province, and I am aware of many other places where it’s illegal. I hope this brings you some comfort
You have strange parents. Square eyes? Spots on your tongue? Bizarre.
Not all parents. Some were teachers (the Spots on tongue and the Maximise window)
I was told this as well, so I’d try to look as sad, afraid and angry as possible. I’d contort my face for hours, trying to push the corners of my mouth down till it hurt. I wanted it to stay like that, so when I went to school the next day somebody would ask me what’s wrong and I could tell them about my father beating the shit out of me every day. Unfortunately, it did not stay and nobody asked.
