Common Lies During Our Childhood

Here are some common lies that are being said to kids.

I took Revenge on the floor 💪😎

Whenever a kid falls down on the floor, the elders use this common technique to soothe the kid.

“How dare you hit my kid,” they chide the floor.

The innocent kid believes it.

Then, they encourage the kid to hit the floor as a mark of revenge.

Surprisingly, the kid becomes silent after hitting the floor. 

Why do thieves stay only outside of my house? 🥺

If a kid is hyperactive and if they tries to go out of the house alone, the elders often say:

“Yes, go out. There are thieves waiting outside our house. They will snatch young kids like you. 

Interestingly, most of the time, this trick works fairly well on kids.

I don’t want to eat cockroaches in my food. 🪲🐝🦗😨

“If you keep doing mischievous stuff, I will join you in the thatched school. They will serve cockroaches, mosquitoes and ants in your food”. I heard one of my relatives scolding their kid. 

“I won’t go to that thatched school. Instead, I will join you in that school for scolding me more often than necessary,” the kid replied back. 

In any case, I am glad that neither of the above took place and that that kind of school doesn’t exist.

I won’t let crows eat my food. 🦅😬 

“If you don’t eat quickly, the crow will come and eat everything. Eat quickly.” My grandma often used this technique to feed my niece. 

However, I didn’t see even once a crow grabbing food from mothers to date. 

What if a tree sprouts from my head: 😳

I accidentally ate watermelon seeds during my childhood.

I have been told the effect of this is watermelon tree sprouts from my head.

Believe it or not, I imagined or dreamt of a tree shooting above my head with its leaves hanging near my forehead during my childhood.

I am more than glad that it didn’t come true, at least to date. 😊

Please do share some of the lies which have been told to you during your childhood.

Thank you for your time,

Keep Smiling.

P. S: I will be more than happy if you can suggest any kind of improvement in my writing.
