" why isnt the octopus moving ?"

Quote from Rainy Days

I was going to get surgery on my appendix.
I was 6. They told me I was going to Disneyland.

OMG, lmao, i nominate this as the worst childhood experience anyone can possibly go through

Here's a thing about Mexican parents: their lies traumatize their children. My mom told me and my sister once (as kids) because we were fighting (again) that she was going to leave the house for good and live with grandma and to make her lie effective she hid behind the TV so we actually thought she left us. I remember I was scared to death and I had never cried so hard in my life until then.

My mom would tell us that if you behaved bad the man (doesn't matter what man...it could be the sausage man or the man in the corner) was going to take us away. My dad told us that Bloody Mary punishes children who don't behave 🤣 Such fond memories huh

Dad likes to try to freak us out--"you're adopted," etc. Once we got wise to that he went for more variety, though. Last time I talked him on the phone when I was away from home he told me my sheep had gotten out and they'd decided just to shoot them instead of putting them in again..... -_-; I played along until he put Mom on the phone.....I usually know when he's serious. Usually.

I don't think Mom has much, if at all. I remember--someone mentioned "If you eat pencils you'll get lead poisoning," I think--Mom said, "You could get lead poisoning, you know. Oh, wait--it's graphite." 🤣 I love my mother. 😀

We never had Santa or whatever......Dangerous questions were occasionally answered by, "None of your beeswax." But I don't remember any wildly improbable lies on important issues, and, living on a farm, we figured out sex and death more or less on our own. Eventually.

They say it's the thought that counts, but then they tell you, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions......"

Will no one scanlate Takahashi Miyuki?! T_T

we tell my lil brother that. my parents used to tell me n my bro that the devil would come out of the floor and take us away if me n my bro stayed up too late playing games or watching tv. such nice parents huh? (: oh n they would talk about the llorona too. o.e

That I was a planned baby ┐┐

whenever my dad would leave me alone he would tell me to watch out for the boogey man. it creeped me out. he still tells me that. my parents told me alot more like the bunny rabbit would eat the easter eggs that werent painted well and would leave the sharp shells on the floor. they told me that so i would be more careful where i put the shell that is on the hard boiled egg.

thats the #1 lie! n parents always lie when it comes to the question "where do babies come from?" my mom told me they cut open her stomach n pulled me out n she had a scar. obviously not true n funny thing is i already knew where babies come from when i asked xp n the whole santa n toothfairy thing. since i didnt really believe in the toothfairy my mom would tell me a rat would take my tooth and leave me money. (:

the lies mexican parents tell their children. o.o
n i remembered cuple other ones. the reason the moon had darkish spots was cause a bunny hopped onto the moon and imprinted itself on it. i believed that for sooo long. if ur a bad kid something would pull on ur legs at night and drag u down. probably y i hav a habit of curling up into a ballish shape wen i sleep. o.e nd the chupacabra would come get u. one of my favorites xp

That there were crocodiles and sharks at the lake where we went almost every summer so me and my lil brother didnt go too deep. I am still scared of deep water but only in the ocean now lol. I'm sure there are a lot more just cant think of them at the moment.

Lol that's called "caesarean section," your mom technically didn't lie.

I don't remember any lies my parents told me when I was young. Either my parents were really busy or we just didn't care about the world lol.

Shut up and go to sleep or big foot ( or something of that description) will come and eat you. Didn't work because I tried stayed up late trying to set traps for it...I mean common it's big foot if I catch it alive I'll be famous.

When I was a kid someone told me that sweet and sour pork were sheep eyeballs, so I never ate them. -.-

... Also, the tooth fairy thing. One time my brother put his tooth under his pillow, we put a note along with it asking where the tooth fairy lived. The next morning we got a note back saying that the tooth fairy lived right next door to God. Last year, my dad confessed to being the "tooth fairy" and writing the note. But I laughed when he told us that he forgot to put money under my brother's pillow once.

I believed that every child was born in caesarean section too! I mean, how else is it born, right? the baby is right under that skin....

I was a weird kid, I loved reading encyclopideas and history mangas. Of course, my parents encouraged this, since it's a very intellecual thing to do. The only problem is that I learned about concubine, sperm and egg, reproductive system, and caesarean system (how the king was born and how the surgery was named after it) WAYYYYY before i needed to, as grade 2.

Only thing it didn't tell me was the detail involving insemination. I learned that years later. 😲

You just know them as facts, and didn't feel anything about it. One time my lil sis asked me "how are babies born?" and i answered. "because sperm and egg met" and mom smacked me on the head. 🤣

they told me that if i eat watermelon see, watermelon will grow in my stomache
they told me that i was found under the bridge. (the word bridge sound same as the word legs in korean)...so it wasn't a lie...

I'll lie to my kids, heck, i'm already lying to my little sis. I was really dissapointed when i found out santa clause wasn't real. "mom, why is my art teacher dressed as santa with fake beard (rubber band on the side) coming at night and saying that he's santa....?" I cried the whole night. So, i decided that i must keep my lil sister believing in santa. cauple of years later, my parents forgot that it was christmas (we're asian) so i decided to leave my favorite notebook under my little sister's pillow. the next morning. "sis, why are your favorite stikers wedged inside the notebook i got from santa....?"

I'm sorry sis....i really am T.T

They told me we'd go to Disneyland but turns out it was just the local amusement park.
Gee, thanks parents for getting me all excited for nothing. And poor me, I believed. I didn't know before that my country didn't have a Disneyland.
