I'm interested, I heard on the radio today that a woman had parents that had told her stories about how all the babies in the world were born boys, then they slapped them on the bottom and the pe**s fell off the dumb ones. :blink:

My father told me on one stormy xmas night that santa clause was actually an evil, giant robot, with hacksaws and chainguns coming out of his hands and eyes. He was sent out to kill all the children of the world on christmas morning, and being young, I hesitanty believed his stories of what he did to little boys and girls every chistmas night. How little girls got shoved into sacks and taken back to his workshop to be chopped up and made into toys. How little boys had there eyes picked out and their tongues ripped off. I spent the rest of the night in my sisters bed being reassured that it was a lie.

So, did any of you people got told any fibbing stories when you were young?

I had the classic, "If you eat your crusts, your hair will go curly." from the teachers at school, but it didn't work. my mum has hair like a sheep, so as a child I lived in constant fear that if I ate even 1 little bit of crust my hair would spring up and explode in a mass of curls. :worry: But I know that its a lie now :D so I'm OK! :lol:

I recall when I was little being told that if you swallow a watermelon seed that watermelons will grow in your stomach. Also that my dad had to walk twenty miles shoeless through four feet of snow uphill both ways going to and coming home from school. My older brother told me when I was about four that if you swallow an ant then the ant will live inside your stomach and eat everything you eat and you will slowly starve to death. I remember that one really bothered me, even though I had no plans to do any ant eating.

I used to have a bad bad habit of biting my nails down to the quick, so much so that they'd bleed sometimes. And my mum told me one day that if I kept biting my nails and swallowing them, like I did, that they'd all gather in my appendix and make it bust.

I believed it too. For awhile. Then I wised up and figured that the gastric acid would take care of my nails just as it would everything else I eat. And I stopped believing it then.

It did get me to stop swallowing my bitten off nails, thogh. But what got me to quit biting my nails all together, I started to clip them off short so I couldn't bite them. Now I just clip them off short to the quick and they bleed sometimes. So it really didn't help the problem. Just now, I don't bite them, just clip them.

Man, I've never heard of some of these. Wow, this is interesting.

Most of what I heard, other than the above story that I posted about biting finger nails, is your average stuff that a lot of kids hear. Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, et cetera, et cetera.

I was also told that I had sleptwalked when I was but a kitsune cub. I don't really know whether to believe my family or not. I just don't know.

I hope I'm not a sleepwalker.

My dad still tells me stupid lies that no one would ever belive. the other day it was "Ducks once controled the world, and they built huge steam trains and stuff. and once they were over throne mankind made up the industreal revolution as a cover story." And people wonder why I act a little odd at times. :rolleyes:

They once told me that I was not an accident, and was certainly not a mistake.

Woo, I completely and fully agree with you. And I know from years and years of experience that if you DO ignore a bully, they'll just KEEP on bugging you. It's just some weird problem they have that they have to make someone else miserable to make themselves happy.

Quite frankly, I think they just need a swift kick in the bum. But that won't help. I've actually won fights against some of the idiots I had to bother with and well, the next day, they where back to bugging me again.

I don't condone fighting. I've never started a fight. Just ended them. I do believe in defence, though. The only reason I rarely fought back, though, was because almost all the bullies I had to put up with, where about four, yeah I said four, times my size. And just as dumb as the cavemen they looked like.

I wish our school would've let me carry a cattle prod with me. Then nobody would've bothered me. But that's been years ago. So, I'm not going to open any old wounds.

True, I'm thinking of bringing in car de-icer, any hassle and it goes in there eyes. :P few weeks ago about four chav bullys jumped a friend of mine when she was on her way to class. thats four on one, and still they did a shit job at beating her up! I mean, I'm glad there so crap at it but it makes you think "why bother? were just gonna find a way to get back at ya! and look the frigg out for karma. because karma hates you." besides, were girls! lets face it, we wont let this go, and we will find a way to pay them back. <_<
P.S, chavs are more of a brittish thing, they mostly were burbary and are almost all assholes.

We have a name for them over here in the U.S. of A. too. But due to my religion, I'm not going to say it. You can only imagine, though.

Trust me, my school was full of rednecks and druggies. For those who don't know exactly what a redneck is, look at Larry the Cable Guy, and there you go. But the rednecks I knew, where actually stupid. I mean, "can't find their way out of a wet paper bag with a compass and a map" stupid.

I guess, like I said in my last post, fighting back doesn't exactly work. Maybe that counts as a lie my family told me. "If you fight back, they'll leave you alone."

Yeah, freakin' right. Tell that to my throbing black eye.

yea, chavs are stupid too, or at least the ones in my school. It's just like, "Hey! Let's interfear with everyones education and then blame it on the teachers coping skills!" but said more like "y'aright, i'nni! lez go 'n mess abat in class 'n stuff, we izn gonna learn nothin' anyway." and it ends with a long nasal laugh. I'd like to get a good job! then I can at least get away from you in my future carear! and I can drive past Mc Donalds in my awsome car and laugh manicly at you while I hurl a blazing tourch at your face, and no one would belive you that I'd done it! because they all think I'm at the hospital, trying to cure diseases. <_<
