-If I swallowed gum then a tree would grow in my stomach.
-I would get cancer if I was on the computer for too long.
-I would get to go to Disney World one day (I still really want to go) =_=
-A man lived on the moon.
-If I whistled at night, a snake would come.
-If I wore a hat in the house, I wouldn't grow.

I remember when I was around 6 years old I asked my mum how babies were made and she said God puts them in the stomach of good women. I kept on believing this until this dude told me how babies are really born when I was 11.

Supposedly, if I missed brushing and flossing my teeth even once, they would rot and be eaten away by the sugar bugs.
I was so scared that they used it as a form of punishment: if I wasn't good, they wouldn't help brush my teeth. 🤢
Even now my oral hygiene habits are a bit exessive.
Otherwise, my parents were pretty blunt. Once I mentioned the easter bunny, and they told me, 'your friend's parents were lying.'

Im surprised at how many parents told their children they would get cancer (cancer didnt mean anything to me as a child).
the lie i remember the most was that my dad would tell me i have potatoes in my ear, i don't know why he said this (probally just having fun). I remember telling this to my teacher in primary school and everyone just laughed and i had no idea why.
Majority of lies i were told that i remember were from my dad but they were only for fun such as how he was in World War 1 and 2 (despite being born in 1962) and how he held of the Zulus. He still says he's only 29

If don't eat vegetables I would become a old lady with a lot of wrinkle. Now, vegetables are my favourite....hahah
My parents used to tell my brother who is 6 years old, that a "moomoo" will come and kidnap them if they go out alone. The "moomoo" man is actually the guy who cuts the weed on the road, he wears mask and fully clothed, not even his eyes shows. My brother scared of them until he was 8 years old...

That I was a planned baby ┐┐
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 xp
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.
yea but i wasn't born that way D:
juz thought of another lie! worms would grow in my stomach n come out of my mouth if i eat too much candy. my parents r on a role! 0.o

This one isn't any parent of mine, I'm happy to say:
I need a black and white kitten ASAP! My son's kitten had an accident and he thinks that the kitten is at the dr getting better.
We have kittens for sale, and this lady bought from us before. I wonder how she plans to explain the fact that the kitten got smaller..... =.=
Well, we don't have any black and white anyway. She'll have to get it from somewhere else.
They say it's the thought that counts, but then they tell you, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions......"

That religion was real and if I did bad things I would end up in some fictional land of demons at the center of the earth forever. Also that if I was good i would end up in some sort of land of happiness in the sky.
Its amazing what you can get a kid to believe if you tell him he will writhe in agony in some hellhole for eternity if he doesn't believe.

Aside from the standard lies every parents tells their child at some stage, I wasn't lied to very often.
I was told I was eating chicken soup for a long period of time, only to discover it was potato later.
I hate potato soup.
Also, off-topic but 800th post, woo! 🤣
