When I was but a wee scamp, no taller than a toadstool, I was led to believe that the world was a just and fair place, where kindness reigned and everyone got their just desserts. But alas, my friend, the truth is as sour as a lemon lollipop, and I spit it out like a bitter seed.
For the greatest lie, the most heinous deception, was that there existed no such creatures as the Boogeyman. Oh, how they cackled behind our innocent backs, those grown-ups, those so-called 'wise' elders, as they whispered those very words! "There's no such thing as the Boogeyman, my dear child." Ha! Their words rang hollow, for little did I know, the Boogeyman lurked in every shadow, behind every closed door, and under each bed. He was as real as the sun, and twice as scary!
And now, as an adult, I realize the Boogeyman was not just one creature, but a symbol, a representation of all the evil and injustice that prowls our world, waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting. So, to those elders who lied, I say: your wisdom is as flimsy as tissue paper, and your understanding of the world is as clear as mud!
And to the Boogeyman, wherever you may lurk, I say: you may have fooled me once, but never again! Your tricks are as transparent as a ghost's underpants, and twice as laughable!
So, my friend, fear not the lies of yesteryear, for we shall call out the Boogeymen of this world for what they are: pathetic, pitiful, and as threatening as a wet firecracker.
Now, let us move forward, armed with the knowledge that sometimes, the scariest things are the ones that go bump in the night, and other times, they are the ones who smile and wave during the day.
My sister broke a fairly expensive family antique ornament when we were kids. My parents went off it when they found out it was broken, we were upstairs, my sister went into pretty much shock, I decided to take the blame and said it was me. I was grounded forever, missed a number of birthday parties. Parents and my brother still believe it was me.
@RebelinSteel I figured it out that you misread it, I liked the answer though. It is honorable when people protect their loved ones. What about the actual answer to this question though? What is the biggest lie you were told?
@Account where I grew up there was an old factory and it produced a lot of water vapour. I was told by my parents that it was a cloud factory and that it made the clouds. When we travelled some place, they would point out another factory and say it was another cloud factory. I would then try and find them when we travelled. When I see factories that produce water vapour I have that āwhat an idiotā moment. Also apple seeds growing in stomach to make a tree That my belly button could burst and I would go Pop.
That a lady had a crystal ball and could see everything I do.
I had carved my name on the kitchen cabinets.
my mom called me over and and asked if I had done that. I suddenly realized thatās not good! With a frozen face I said no.
My mom said she was going to the lady with the crystal ball and it would show her who carved the name.
I stood there scared thinking maybe they can only see me from the back and I can say it was another girl with the same hair
I was so scared I had dreams about this lady with her crystal ball showing my mom what I did lol
in my dreams you couldnāt see my face in her crystal ball so I was scared but thinking I could still lie and say it wasnāt me because it didnāt show my face
Hmm... my parents didn't really tell those "big lies". But my aunt told me I had an invisible friend named Jennifer. And she had me thinking there was really a girl that I couldn't see that was there wanting to play with me lol
My father, who was a railways driver, brought me once on the train when I was 5, in driving cabin with him. It was forbidden but he equally did. We did two travels and then we returned home. Then, after 5 days, he gave me a letter written by āhead office of national railwayā with thanks for the service accomplished and with a fake pay slip and 10 euros in it. The trick was so well made I believed it all for years 😂
That is kind of hilarious š ! Are you Greek by the way? I am asking because of your username which is the word for bliss/happiness/beatitude in Greek
Yes it is, and I was so sad when I discovered the truth šš No, Iām Italian! I just like the word (and I wrote it wrong and this stupid app doesnāt allow me change the name š)
That Santa's fatass ass comes down a chimney I don't even have and eats my cookies and leaves presents, I believe that fib is messed up taking the credit from the parents, if you think of it, there's no purpose for that lie, it should've been tradition to spread the love between children and parents than to fool your children about some stranger coming down the chimney for absolutely no reason at all lol
My parents never lied to me about this š , they were like we will buy you a present in this specific price range so choose whatever you want within it, therefore I always knew that my parents were Santa
Thats good, very good actually, things like that and I'm sure many others can explain why you are so mature, you kinda got like this coldish serious side to you and I believe that part of your character formed from having parents that didn't lie to you for stupid reasons š
I stopped believing in Santa the day we went āChristmas shoppingā to three different malls and all 3 malls had a Santa. It dawned on me that night that we were out, āChristmas shoppingā
I agree with you. People look at me funny I tell my kids their is no such thing as Santa. Pick anything you want. How do parents expect their kids to be honest when the parent lies to their kids in December. Oh and toithfairy the Easter bunny. Yeah no. My your friend is here the mom is like:tell her I'm not home. Yeahvletterwen we tell lies our parents get upset. I wonder who started that fat guy lie called Santa.
Schools care about bullying and that it is up to us to stand against it to prevent a cycle of violence & self destructionā¦.
When in reality, if a child reports to the school a bullying situationā¦ Theyāll do jack crap and teachers are allowed to bully as long as its not the student doing it.
Note: I donāt like Karens or idiots who harass school staff based on lies, narrow minded views, etc. I donāt want to come across as I hate schools & faculty because I learned so much from school and proud of the educators that made me who I am though there are lies I was told.
Every single time I was told "It'll be okay". Pretty much everything I was "taught" through cartoons as a kid. Every word that came out of the mouths of councillors, education spokespeople, etc... not to mention the obvious lies of the police and doctors. All of it is for the sake of brainwashing children into mindless compliance even as the world around them burns from collective incompetence.
We're big on honesty in my family so there never really was any of that. I suppose grandpa going away to "get firewood" and coming back as santa was sort of a lie but we all knew it was him, it was just for the fun and tradition of it. Well okay maybe my baby sister believed it for a while actually but I think I told her myself at some point.
If I was to go really dark, the lie was when my mother told me she loved me a d the times she'll say I'll see you again soon or it won't wait too long before we see each other again soon.
My father raised a bunch of chickens in our backyard. My brother and me thought they were pets. Whenthey got big my father butchered them and put them in the freezer. He told us that he accidently left the gate open and they all ran away.
Dude! There was always a āfoxā or āweaselā that got ours! I distinctly remember going into the house with a basket of eggs and reporting to my mother that our favorite hen, Henrietta, was nowhere to be found. She was frying up chicken as she suggested a coyote must have got her!
