Lies my mom told!
When your a kid Every princess can find their happy ending, Peter Pan can fly, and there is a magical world that Alice goes to where everything is how you would want it to be. WE BELIEVE EVERYTHING!.
“If your bad that policeman will take you away from me”- Preying on my attachment to my mother while we are in the mall pointing to the security guard walking past us. So We are good little kids.
“If you put that bag on your head you will disappear and never see mommy ever again”- again preying on my attachment to her. trying to keep me from dying without actually saying you will die! not to bad of a lie to keep me out of harms way. But I took it as a magic trick. not a death warrant.
“ You have to go to the doctor, but don’t worry your not getting a shot!”Spoiler alert I always ended up getting a shot. This is the reason my blood pressure is so high when I go to the doctor as an adult. Its always fine before I end up leaving. I know this because They make me get it checked again before they let me leave to make sure I am ok. Its always fine at the end PTSD?
Then you have the ones I assume other children have heard.
“If you sit to close to the tv you will go blind”
“If you make that face long enough it will stay that way”
“If you swallow your chewing gum your butt hole will stick together”- Ok maybe that one was just my mother.
“Don’t worry it will stop hurting by the time you get married!”
These are just some of the Lies my mom told!
