THE BIGGEST LIE YOU BELIEVED

Reddit asked, “What the biggest lie you believed?” Some of the answers:
– “I was an only child, and my mom told me that chocolate was just for women. She would say this while eating all of my Easter and Halloween candy.”
– “Our family was poor and lived in a house where the ceiling plaster had bowed so much that it curved downward, bulging out. My dad told me that there was a World War II bomb buried in the ceiling. I believed it for years, and it absolutely terrified me.”
– “As a little kid, my dad told me that there was a Greek god of sex called Fellatio. That was the first time I had ever heard that word. Then, freshman year of high school, I took a mythology class and asked the teacher — in class — why we hadn’t talked about Fellatio – ‘You know, the god of sex?’ I got a nice little talk after class.”
– “That you need a license for children’s parties. That was the reason why I never had a party when I was little growing up. I was told you need to get a license from the post office but that there are only a certain amount of licenses available for that area.”
– “When I was around 5 or 6, my mother, to stop me from messing with the buttons in her car, told me that the hazard light button would blow up the car. I was understandably terrified of it until I was 13 and realized how ridiculous that notion was.”
– “When I was about 5 years old, my father told me the chicken nuggets at McDonald’s were made of cat paws.”
– “My mom told me when I was little that I couldn’t touch tiny baby animals, like kittens, puppies, and birds because the oils in my hands would rub off on them and make them sick. Turns out she just didn’t want me to death grip them with my little toddler hands.”
– “My dad got sick of having to listen to the kids shows I watched as a child, so he told me that the Power Rangers and Barney died in the car crash with Princess Diana, so I couldn’t watch them anymore.”
* THAT is my favorite dad in the world.
* I was told once that parents loved their kids and would never mess with them.
* This is a good story to get us in the right frame of mind for election season.
* It’s amazing the stuff people believe. Anyway, more music right after this short commercial break.
