I’ve been told: “If you swallow watermelon seeds, it will grow in your belly.”
Used to scare me to death cuz I thought I’d be preggo with watermelon LOL
I guess “you should take these really dodgy drugs because you don’t fit into the shit society we’ve built and you have feelings and feelings are a problem” is one of them.
I was told I could be anything I wanted to be. Then I faced reality and realised it must have been “you will do as they say or you’ll be an outcast”. I must of been listening to Thomas the tank at the time, as that always won over listening to adults.
Yup. That’s the biggest lie I’ve been told. Sure, you can do anything…if you’re white, male, have money and connections. For the rest of us, it’s a lifetime of being indenture servants.

My parents use to tell me a bean grew inside my nose when i was a baby.
lol why your nose? 😛
Because it used to be kinda weird.
Lie for me, just don’t lie to me!!!
The neighbor claimed he had a money tree growing in his back yard and the visiting nurses ate his missing toes. (He was diabetic)
My parents told us kids the two dudes cohabitation at the end of the road were brothers when they were actually lovers. They had the nicest pool too.
And the best pool partays.
