The lies you were told as a child.

[GammaChris]

"That you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up."

I mean, I can, but that's just because I'm an egotistical self-absorbed genius. That stupid kid across the street from me? No, he cannot be an 'astronaut cowboy power ranger' when he grows up.

 

[DarthHK]

"We don't favor your sister at all."

Hey... I can see into my skull!

"When we move, we'll bring the pool with us!"
9 years later and nothing. Thank you for killing my dreams to be a swimmer /cry

 

[Higurashi]

I don't think it was to tease me, and it's doubtful it was to stop me from doing anything, but I do know a few things that were complete lies;
"I love you", and the tragicomedy that was "You are the most important thing in my life" are two examples. I can still chuckle at 'em.

o_o That might just be the saddest thing I've ever heard. I'm going to go in the corner and have a good cry now....

i moree see it as a tragically funny comment as it clearly isnt true as this personb woul dcry upon losing one of the one he claims not to love

What? I'm trying to understand this sentence. It's true alright. I could taste the falseness of it in my mouth even as a kid. The rest... I just can't make out. Not everyone works like you, you know.

My high school GENETICS teacher was a creationist.

Trans fats are one molecule away from plastic.
Fuck you Mr. Anderson. The only thing you taught me that was interesting in 5th grade math was WRONG!

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

I was told that if I went to school I would make alot of friends, and guess what, I didn't get a single friend outa school, people at school labeled me as an outcast, I have friends from random walks I've taken I have friends from work, never made a friend in school that stayed a friend for more than a week.
was also told that the pills would make me not sad anymore and make me more able to be happy, they were only half right, since they killed every emotion... even after i stopped taking them I still have trouble expressing myself in any other form than text...
/end rant

 

[SquirrelPants]

My parents told me that Santa was a nice guy...Then I read about the Krampus, which is something that the modern Santa derived from...*Shudder* I still have nightmares...

[macapus]

Moomy, so your 30 and grandma's 40. O.K.

 

[MrNades]

That I could do anything when I grow up. Bullshit! I'm not gonna stop global warming or fix the economy, I'm just not that good.

 

[MercenaryCanary]

That there was this all powerful benevolent being called god. That was a pretty big one.

Christianity. 'Nuff said.

"we give you our word. . ."
"they are laughing with you, not at you"

The tooth lawyer. My mom told me that when I lost a tooth I would put it under my pillow and the dental unions lawyer would sneak into my room and bribe me and steal the evidence so I would not sue for losing teeth.

I have strange parents.

That's excellent =]!
