How has no one has mentioned the lies that petrified me as a child?

- "If you bite your fingernails, they will grow into fingers inside your tummy."
I was expecting a horde of little fingers to rip their way out of me at any moment for a good few days after that one.

- "If you swear your tongue will fall out."
Worked a charm for a while.

- "Playing with your willy will make you go blind."
I am now severely short sighted... I'm not convinced that one was a lie.

I didn't really hear anything that bad but the most jarring realization for me as a young child was realizing that Santa Claus was all made up.

I was thinking, when I become a parent, I would rather not lie to my child. Could this cause more harm than good? Is my kid going to become "damaged" cause everyone else believes in Santa and the rest?
No. But he will make all the other kids damaged by telling THEM it's all a lie.

"If you swallow chewing gum, it'll stay in your stomach for seven years."

I've had the pleasure of being able to tell some people that that's bull faeces.
That's a lie? How bout that...so how long does it take for gum to dissolve?

When I was young and finished watching the Star Wars saga for the first time I asked my mom what other film roles Carrie Fisher had after her role in Star Wars. (I already knew Mark Hamil was in Batman and Harrison Ford was in Indie)

Because I was young my mom didn't want me to know she was a drug addict at that time so she told me she died of cancer...

i was told by a friend of my fathers when i was about 7 that if i drank alot of coffee i'd get hair on my balls, which, by a strange coincidence actually did happen a couple of years later :p

That and if you swallow chewing gum it'll stick in your stomach forever and you wont be able to eat anymore, that both scared me and scarred me, i didnt have the delight to swallow a chewing gum until i was at the age of 15 thanks to that.

I was raised pretty well, meaning my parents didn't lie to me that much; they'd had enough of that when they were children.

My grandmother, on the other hand, lied to me quite often, and sometimes with results that devestated my family. She once told me that my dad raped my mom and forced her to marry him. I was maybe twelve at the time, so this was a major blow to my phsyche, since my father was my idol. Needless to say both of my parents went bat-shit on her over that one.

She really hated my dad, and I never understood why.

Oh well. Apologies for breaking up the fun with my tramautic life.
