Lies Our Parents Told Us

I wanna try something interactive. Just in time for the holidays! Now, santa doesn’t count…tell me the best lies that your parents (or family) ever told you…

1. Conditioner

When asked what conditioner was for my mother told me, “It removes all of the Shampoo from your hair.”
I believed this until my junior year of college.

2. The Moon

Coming home from a dinner at my aunt and uncle’s home in Grand Haven, MI…I was staring out at the full moon. My mother turned around and said “Don’t stare at the moon! You’ll go crazy!”
I still am trying to disprove this one.

3. Pain

Dreading the sting of mecurochrome drops on a scraped knee at age 6, my dad said, “When your an adult, you’ll walk into a bar, slam your fist down on the table and say to the bar-keep: ‘GIMME SOME PAIN!’ ”
I have yet to do this.
