Diabetes is curable. You'll shoot your eye out, kid. You'll understand when you grow up. My ACDC shirt was the devil tryin to get mah soul!! The devil made me do it (that was mine). The toilets in Australia are possessed. Canadian whiskey sucks. <-That was the biggest lie. Obama can't win cuz all them thar rednecks'll shoot 'im. That was from my uncle.
God is a kind and benevolent old man who looks suspiciously like Morgan Freeman. In actuality, my view of god is more like the Joker from the Dark Knight, only less disheveled. He's a trickster who loves to fuck up people's lives for the sheer amusement, and then maybe later he'll fix it so as not to be too mean.
"If you eat your crusts/carrots/green things you'll get hairs on your chest" - I'm female so this failed
"if you eat your *aforementioned food items* your hair will grow curly" - still straight
"wash behind your ears or potatoes will grow there"
"Santa will bring you presents if you're good"
"this will not hurt"

My parents told me they couldn't find a pulse on my wrist so I was an alien. That freaked me out. But now I wish they'd been right. Then I could fly away.
My grandma told me that there was a child abducter in the shopping mall we use to always go to, she even told me where he lived I think it was where they unload all the boxes and stuff. (It's actually kinda creepy because all you see is the slightly ajar door and inside there is nothing but darkness)
Or my Uncle told me that at night monsters come out from behind the furniture in the lounge and if I don't run through quickly without turning on the light then they'll get me (this lead to many me+wall collisions and I followed this till I was about 8)
Another one from my uncle, One time he called up and told me it was captain planet then he put my other uncle on the phone who told me he was Popeye, being like 5 I was esctatic to have met two of my favourite cartoon characters in one day(needless to say I only fell for this once but up until this day when they call and pick up the phone they'll say it's captain planet or popeye)

I, er... Wasn't really lied to. I asked a question and they would answer it to the best of their ability or tell me to ask again when I was older. I knew that none of the holiday critters existed at the age of six. I didn't have to try re-understanding everything. I'm quite thankful for my parents on that part.
I had the same thing. Watermelons exactly. I didn't freak out though, I just said, "Great! More watermelon for me!" I just kept eating the seeds for about a year after that.Najos said:

I'm already yellow like a New York Cab and I'm still waiting for my night vision!
And: "smell the pudding" the said. "Smells good" they said. It ended with my face buried in a bowl of pudding. My mom pushed me in.
