What were the dumbest lies you believed as a kid?

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Yes, tooth fairy and Santa Claus counts but I feel a lot of adults lie to kids for fun in other ways too. Sometimes for good reason. What is the most obvious lie you used to believe as a kid?

My half-sister once tricked me into believing that because we're related, I could go to the bathroom for her. Like, as a favor. Like, "I'm tired. Can you go pee for me?" Goddamn I was f*cking dumb back then as a six year old.

And if this counts, when I was a teenager, like 15 to 19, I used to be a Liberal. Used to watch Real Time with Bill Maher, bought his books, and all that stuff. THOUGH TO BE FAIR... In the 2000's, Liberals weren't the hateful vitriolic fascists that they are now, and George W. Bush really was a sh*tty president. So it's at least partially justified.

My overly controlling parents knew what was best for me and there was nothing else motivating their actions other than right and wrong.

Turned out they were human like anyone else, with emotions, stress, warped world views and the works.

Stupid answer time. I had heard the saying when I was Very little “step on a crack and you’ll break your mother’s back”. I jumped and hopped over every crack I could until dad said whoever said that was full of schit.
