That peas were filled with peanut butter so I'd eat them.
What are some (non-hurtful and silly) lies your parents told you? Lies you've told your children? Lies you might/will tell your children?
I honestly can't think of any.
Other than Santa Claus I guess.
...Sephex what
Yeah, I'll tell my kids about Santa and the Easter bunny and tooth fairy. May as well.
I can't think of any lies my parents told me.
Santa/tooth fairy/Easter bunny/etc. That's it.
"Parents?"
My Mom told me that if I slept in a room with the fan on and the doors/windows closed, that I would die.
this is a fairly widely-held belief in South Korea actually. Fan death - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
i can't think of anything out of the ordinary my parents did. they were pretty straightforward with me.
I want to laugh harder at fan death, but we have our own really stupid culture-based misconceptions.
My parents told me when I was very little, as long as they didn't act alarmed, I could hurt myself (minor stuff) and not really be phased by it. If I fell and scraped myself or burned myself, they said afterwords I would glance over at them. If they made a fuss I'd get concerned. If they didn't, I would grunt and keep going.
I guess that's a close as it gets other than Santa Claus.
Nothing about my parents comes straight to mind... but when I was around 4 my grampy told me that the lumps in gravy were turtles and I refused to eat gravy well until I was in my teens. Mostly I was scarred and just disgusted by gravy ... and then I met poutine.
Boldly go.
