lies

My Brother once told me (before I could read) that the dish washing detergent in the cupboard was unset Jelly. So I poured myself a bowl of it and put a spoonfull in my mouth, much to my distaste. I was so angry and never forgave him.

I got mine back years later when I was old enough to be cunning. My brother asked me if I could get him a glass of coke, so I thought 'this is my chance to get back at him' so I presented him with a glass of Soy Sauce which He downed and spat out in distaste. Sweet revenge. We still play jokes on each other to this day and try to out do eack other each time. Bu this was th start of it all.

There was a picture hanging in my best friend's room when I was little. It included a dance class, decked out in bridesdresses, and also had one groom. My friend assured me that she was "the real bride" and that they other brides were just there to dance. I believed her up to last year, when she told me that it was false as an afterthought. I was crushed.

my friends older than me who had a pond in there back garden said that when they step into it it turns to chocolate world or anything they wanted and i believed it for years.

When I was little my mum used to tell me that my eyes would turn green when I lied so I would stand in front of the mirror and say things like, "I am 100 years old" or "I am a boy".

My mum said it only worked for proper lies like, "It wasn't me" and "I didn't do it" and only mothers had the power to see this transformation

Rose

My friends parents used to tell her, when there was a teacher strike, instead of explaining what it was, they used to tell her that she was sick. They also used to tell her that when the ice-cream truck was playing its song, it meant that they were out of ice-cream

Once me and my friends were friends with this really unpopular kid who was seen as 'uncool'. So we decided to amuse ourselves as well as trying to help him out by making a potion that would make him as cool as we were. We got a bowl and put in milk, marshmallows, orange juice and soy sauce- the special ingredient. Then we convinced the poor kid that if he drunk the potion, it would make him 'cooler'. Luckily it didn't poison him, just left a bad taste in his mouth. After he drunk it he asked "am I cool now?" of course he wasn't any different.

We're still the best of friends today and ironically he is very popular in high school.

My Grandfather told me that when he was small he had been brought up in a childrens home (this is true) and that children were given porridge every morning for breakfast (also probably true). He said the porrige was made in an enormous pot over an open fire and was stirred by a small child standing on a plank suspended over the pot. One day this little boy fell into the porridge and the kids at the back of the queue had to scrape the porridge off his body so they could have some breakfast (my Grandfather being one of them, of course). I believed this well into adulthood, and even repeated the tale to friends and work colleagues. It was only when someone had the guts to laugh at the story that I realised my Grandfather had embroidered the truth somewhat.

My dad was in the Navy when I was small so I grew to love all things naval. We would watch all of the war films, especially the naval ones. There was one film which showed the men in the torpedo room wearing white masks on their faces whilst loading the torpedoes. "Why do they wear those masks, dad?" I asked. He replied, "That's only the men with false teeth - it's so they don't fall into the tube and jam the torpedoes." This is another one I truly believed and even relayed this knowledge to others!

When I was a child my dad was in the Navy. He used to tell me stories when he was home about life at sea. He said he loved standing on the deck as the sun was going down at the end of the day. He told me that just as the last of the sun was disappearing beneath the horizon, at the very last second, there would be a BIG BLUE FLASH before the darkness of night. I hung on his every word and truly believed this. I related this wondrous "fact" to others throughout my life until one day, when I was about 22(!) he overheard me and laughed, and said, "You didn't believe me, did you?" This is one of many stories . . . .

About four years ago my brother and I were talking and we somehow got onto the conversation of cross-dressing (he was around ten at the time). For some reason I told him that Ronan Keating (the singer) was cross-dresser. I never thought any more about it until one night about a month ago when he mentioned it and I reluctantly had to inform him that I had been joking! The poor boy had believed that for four years!

My horrible cousin once told me that when girls turned 8 they changed into boys, and vice versa boys into girls. I totally believed him, and although I was a bit of a tomboy the thought of actually BEING a stupid mean boy with a stupid floppy willy horrified me so much I was in floods of tears for the rest of the day, it took my parents ages to convince me it wouldn't happen. It seemed so unfair, you know?

When I was in seventh grade I believed there was a left handed screwdriver. My teacher told me to go home and look for one. Come to find out theres no such thing.

When I lied my mom would say "Your nose is growing!" and I believed her since pinocchio's nose grew.So, whenever she told me I'd grab on to my nose and scream " TAKE THAT SPELL OF ME!!!!" since the fairygod mother put a spell on pinocchio.
