- 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
My parents were super against lying to kids. We’d hear parents in front of us at mcdonalds tell their kids they couldn’t have french fries because they were all out and we’d ask “is that true?” And mom and dad would assure us no, it’s not true, those parents are just afraid of telling their kids no.
I remember realizing at like 8 that “don’t swallow gum because it can’t be digested and will just accumulate in your gut” can’t be true.
Deranged as my mother was… She would always cut the bullshit with us. She told us at the age of four that Santa Claus is crap it’s just Mom and Dad. And don’t tell the other stupid kids at school because they’ll get upset. Lol mom
When i was in grade 1 we had to write letters to santa, so i raised my hand and said, “I’m jewish so i know santa’s not real, do i still have to do this?” I did, and the teacher assured everyone that santa is real. I was confused and disappointed.
Isn’t it possible that gum can cause an impaction if you swallow enough of it, especially if you’re younger.
