Lyes that your parents told you-other than santa claus

I've been thinking about a lie that my parents told me since this thread started and really I've been unable to think of any. My mom is pretty upfront about things, but I also have a bad memory for certain things.

 

My mom never lied to me.
My other family did though a lot. My dad told me I would never have to worry about money. My grandma told me people wait in the bushes to attack women walking alone.

 

By some strange coincidence, if my mother made it and I didn't care to eat it, it had the power to grow hair on my chest - at least according to my dad - but being a practical kid, I never really saw any advantage to having hair on ones chest.

 

Oh nevermind

 

that every stuped self serving thing that any adult ever does is for the bennifit of their children. not in so many words. but i got that one.

that its wrong to tell anyone what goes on in your house or how your family lives.

also my mom seems to think and have always thought, my dad didn't seem to have THAT problem, that, saying "i never heard of that" somehow magicly bannishes whatever it is from every possibly being capable of existing.

that's mostly a lie she seems to tell herself, and my dad thought she got it from watching too much television.

when i hear the more fanatical of any belief or disbelief echoing what sounds to me like pretty much the same sort of thing, it still somewhat sets my teeth on edge.

like as if the whole rest of the universe and all its unimaginable diversity couldn't possibly exist without our at lest collectively knowing about it. this is what i call the collective ego trip of the human speicies. or maybe just of the culture that is currently dominating the part of this planet where i live.

most of the above, plus... coffee will stunt your growth.... or will put hair on my chest.... santa was run over every year by my father and so was the easter bunny... once he even had a santa smashed on the grill of the semi.... never read in dim light, and dont sit close to tv it will make you blind later on,,,, biting my nails will give me worms...i am sure if i wracked my brain a bit i could come up with a million more,,, then again just yesterday i made salmon patties out of turkey so... the tradition continues

 

its kinda sad how deceiving parents really are

 

i don't know if that's actually dangerous, but it does give me a headache
