lies

i used to believe that we were all just little dolls and the world was a play house and there were giant people up in the sky playing with us like little girls play with barbie dolls.

i was stupid

I used to believe that Belinda Carlisle was a complete fake and liar because I saw her on Top of the Pops singing 'Heaven is a Place on Earth' and I already knew that heaven was in the sky!

My dad used to tell me that I had to put his dirty socks under my pillow before I went to bed at night - otherwise the hippopotamus man would come and get me. After sleeping with dirty socks under my pillow for awhile he tried to get me to put his toe nail clippings under my pillow (unless the some other type of animal-man would come and get me) - thats when my mom put an end to that (thank god!)

On my 8th birthday after picking me up from school i was all excited because i knew i was getting a bike....however my dad turned round me to me and told me that he was very sorry but my dog lassie and my new bike were gone because lassie had jumped on da bike and cycled it down the road! I promptly burst into tears and could not be consoled by anyone except my Grandad who had bought me the bike!!!

When I was around six or seven, I asked my father what air was made of. He told me, straight-faced, that it was made of whipped egg whites and raisins.

Around same time, my brother asked what owls were made of, to which he answers 'popcorn and juice'

I never really got his sense of humor back then...

my mum told me that the 'public' park was closing so she could go home

When i was a kid i used to believe that my dad was He-Man. I thought this because he would tell me so, and hide behind the door and scream "By the power of Greyskull!". When i would run to open the door it was just my dad, but he said "oh, you came too late. I've already transformed back into me"

I never believed it completely, but the was always some doubt left lingering.

I was a weird kid...when I was 8 I thought that if I said something it would come true. And I figured that the only way that could happen was if I was transported to an alternate universe where the thing was true. Except then I would have alternate parents and everything, and it wouldn't be my real origonal life. Also, I thought that I would forget that it was ever different than it was, because my brain was also modified (so conveniently there is no way to prove myself wrong.) So I was afraid of saying any untrue statement and NEVER lied .... :P

When I was younger my Mom told me and my older sister that if we lied she could see the devil in our eyes. Whenever we'd lie we would check each others eyes to make sure he wasn't in there.

When I was little my dad had this bag and it had needles and other assorted sharp objects in it so to keep me from sticking my little three year old hand in it he told me that it was filled with baby alligators. It took my mom nearly an hour to calm me down. I still can't go anywhere near a bag that has Taz on it without wanting to cry. It's sad, actually...

my best friend had a rough childhood she had a lazy eye and broke her leg at a very young age like 2. she told me that she was too young for a cast or surgery so they gave her a wooden leg and a glass eye. finally when i was about 10 she told me that her family sold my family our land so when i asked my brother and he said it wasnt true i asked him about her leg and eye and was furious my best friend wasnt a pirate

when i was in 4-5 grade i used to believe that if i acted like the older boy i liked was in the vents people would believe me. so i would sit there shaking my head yes or no and mouthing words to the vent. im pretty sure they just thought i was crazy now haha

When I was small my cousin covinsed me about that Nokken existed, and that he would eat me if I was not sitting still when he was rowing me around in his rubber boat. Nokken had an owen at the bottom of the lake, that was special designed for small children, adults was to big for the owen,thats why he was not intrested in them.
When I asked my grandparents and parents about if Nokken was real, they said he was, cause they did not wqant me to fall out of the boat since I could not swim.
Needles to say, I learned to swim very late, cause I paniced in water.

When I was a child, I hated to complete my homework. So, my mother used to tell me that my teacher is watching me with a binocular and I used to believe it and do my homeworks. This happened even when we were out of town, she used the same belief of mine to force me to study.

When I was little and I did anything bad, my mom or dad would tell me that I better not do it again or "the man" would get me. I was terrified of "the man" even though I had never seen him or knew what he looked like!

But one day I was in the video store with my mom and I was complaining about something or other so she said "You better stop or the man's going to come and take you away!" And at the exact moment she said that, a really tall man in a black coat and hat looked right at me. Holy crap, was I scared! I stopped complaining, but afterwards I refused to go in that video store for years!
