I tried to tell my nurse Im bi but she said Im 'too pretty to be a lesbian' and that Im just affectionate towards other girls. Even if I wear mens clothing in the future (not. happening.) I still wont be one. ?...

My mum told me that babies came from shops. Dad went silent when I asked, so I presumed from then on it was some secret agent type of shopping or something. For a long time.

My mother told me that if I was bad she'd take me back to the store. Then when I was five her friend got in on the act and told me her maid killed bad little girls and hid them in her crawl space. I didn't move from the couch all day I got so scared. They lured me downstairs with a frog and toad book and showed me the crawl space to prove they were lying. I haven't believed a word my mom's said since!

My parents told me as well that eating grape seeds (or any other kind) would make a tree grow inside me. I believed it for a couple of years until they confessed it wasn't true. Granny said if I lie my tongue would grow out of my grave and if I steal, my hand. That gave me nice view on my future.

my parents told me the only way to be sure you didnt get pregnant was to not have sex. how wrong were they. i have been having sex for 12 years and im still not pregnant. maybe they should have added with boys to that sentance?

my mom told me the word "lesbian" was a swear word! no joke!

'If you lie you get a big black spot on your tongue, and it will only go away if you own up.' Erm...teaching your child not to lie by telling them a lie is really quite sad.
I don't believe in making stuff up for kids, even Father Christmas. Just seems really condesending, and I hated all that when I was little.
