I was a very intelligent child and usually I knew when my parents lied... I remember that when I was very, very small my mom didn't want me to eat ice cream (because I was just to little) and she told me that it's made of pepper. But it didn't work - I asked her why she's eating it, if it's so disgusting. After that my parents never tried lying to me

santa claus, he wasn't real...

When it was raining my mom would say
"The virgin mary is crying, have you done something bad?"

It worked! I was 5 and thinking "crap, how come she knows?!"

You really got me there mom.

Lol. my parents believed it was bad and unhealthy to lie to children. I never even believed in santa clause.

Trying to come up with something my parents lied about but i can only remember are the times they have toled me the brutal truth of it, looking back in it now i would rather have had an childhood of blissful ignorance them the hard facts of life and one to many sleepless nights...

When I was really young we used to drive by farmland with these big bales of hay all over them. I asked what they were and my parents told me they were dinosaur poop (I was very into dinosaurs at the time). It took a while to figure out the truth

All the classics like santa, easter bunny....
Also I remember being told, that if I had a thousand dreams about flying, I'd be able to fly for real (I do fly in most of my dream up until now, I'm still hoping she just messed up the numbers...)
Also, stuff like broken glass means good fortune as well as a pidgeon sh***ing on you (I still happen to hear that, a couple of months ago an unidentified bird really did the unspeakable...)

Ah I nearly forgot, when I was pre-school age, she used to tell me that keeping things to yourself (like secrets or worries) will cause stomach problems ,or in the worst case Peptic ulcer (I wiki'ed that one)
- She made me spill all of my secrets with just that remark...

I guess I'd lie to my kids about stuff like christmas and the like.
Maybe some white lies when it's convenient, but not that last one to make my child spill every last one of their secrets (that was really mean thinking back now)

Santa Claus!

The Easter Bunny was killed by Scott (a family friend) and his son now runs the business.
Counting sheep will help you fall asleep.

touching worms will kill you
and killing bees will cause you to be poisoned
not doing homework will land you in jail
do your chores or santa wont come
playing too much games and president bush will beat you with a bush

it's pretty funny now that i look back ^.^

D'oh!

I was standing below a tree and got a rain of pigeons's goodies...and I left intact, all clean..must have been bad luck

errmm...what lies can ppl tell abt santa?? - is he actually skinny or somethin? XD
anyway i was actually one of those lucky kiddies who was told that when ice-cream vans play their tune it means that they are out of ice-cream ...yeah i know, it's pretty evil. My dad still cracks up over it >.>

My mom told me "you'll DIE early if you become a marine biologist because all the salt water will ..etc..etc so you HAVE to become a doctor"
as a 4 year old it scared the crap out of me. They crushed my dreams now because of them I find no purpose(goal) in life, I only follow their wishes-->to become a doctor.
I just do as I'm told...
oh, and "the cat ate the goldfishes" and because of that I hated cats until now, not that I mind that lie. i'm not fond of cats either way (cause they killed 4 of my birds)
