bit of a random thread.

as a kid (about age 7) if i wouldnt come in from playing out my mum used to say that the "pick up birds" will get you and take you away !

also there was a dog in my neighbourhood and my mum nick named it "the captain" and apparently he took little boys away who where naughty.
to this day ( age 34 ) if i see that brand of dog i think eeek lol.

did anyone here have parents that basicaly made stuff up to get you to do stuff as a kid?

:D
 
Mine still lie to me now.

When I was about 7, I had an accident smashing one of my front teeth up through my gum, had all the treatment done and was left with the tooth (luckily it was a milk one). Being the sentimental child I was, I left a note with the tooth asking for it to be returned a week later under my pillow that night for the fairy.

My parents are divorced, and at the time I left the tooth under my pillow at my mothers house with said note and woke up with monies! Now I used to go visit my Father on wednesdays, I did so, only to find the tooth under my pillow over there...

To this day I'm still told the tooth fairy must have done it. :rolleyes:

lol.
 
I had two things:

First, the day after every Halloween I'd rush outside to see if a Witch had drawn a yellow pentagram outside the door. Dad use to tell me that if I was good, a Witch would draw that sign so Santa knew which children had been good or bad.

Second was a bit more serious. He told me that my bottom was screwed on with my belly button. One day I thought my bum was big, so took a big flat-blade screw driver, shoved it in my belly button and turned. Ended up in casualty having 2 stiches.

Sod.
 
My dad told me that eating my carrots would improve my eyesight and help me see at night.

For the last 10 years, Ive been chronically shortsighted and had to wear glasses/contacts.




**** :mad:
 
Not that I know of, besides the usual things like Father Christmas and The Tooth Fairy.

I actually believed in Father Christmas till I was about 11 or something, because I refused to accept that my parents would lie to me.

They didn't always answer questions when asked, but I don't recall them lying. I remember asking my mum where babies came from and she said they came out of women's tummies. I asked if they came out of their bottoms, to which she said no, they came out of another hole. I asked her to show me, and she said no. Fair enough really. I was one curious 4 year old...

You can get your own back on them with lies when they're a lot older.

"That's right, they'll be moving you from this filthy old people's home any day now".
 
When one of our cats was described by my Dad as "a bag of **** (urine) with holes in it" I was told that they had re-homed him.

I found out a few years ago that my Dad in fact took him to the woods and left him there. My Mum took one of our other cats to the vets a few weeks later and someone else was there with him (she could tell as he had a kink in his tail) so at least he DID find a new home.

He was called Gollum.
