Apr 3 – Parental Lies

What are some lies your parents told you?

I don’t actually recall anything that my parents have lied to me about. They were actually quite up-front about most things, and if I asked them a question, they would tell me the truth, rather than continue to feed me the same bullshit that all the other parents were feeding their kids.

There are a couple of things that certainly stand out though:

‘Why don’t you go spend time with your father up in the shed, you’ll both really enjoy that.’

Lies.

‘You and I area going to go fishing tomorrow morning. How do you know you won’t like it? You’ll love it!! It’ll be fun, we can make a game out of it…’

Lies.

‘Your father loves both of you equally as much!’

Lies.

‘You know that we don’t have favourites!’

Lies.

‘DON’T SAY THAT TO YOUR BROTHER!! OF COURSE SANTA / EASTER BUNNY / TOOTH FAIRY ARE REAL!!’

Blatant lies.

‘No, of course your grandmother doesn’t hate you. How could she hate you? I think you’re just tired and your overracting. You should just go to bed and get some sleep.’

Even. more. lies.
