Lies my parents told me

[$mooth]

My Stepdad would always threaten to send me to Military School. Right up until I thought it sounded like a great idea and i actually wanted to go. Then the beatings commenced.

My parents always threatened to send us to boarding school. when my brother started teaching at a boarding school a few years ago, we realized that there was no way in hell my parents could've ever afforded to send us to a school like that!

Most nights of her cooking, she had my hopes up.

My mom and dad, and grandma and grampa, always told me not to go into the woods behind my grandparents house down in Corbin Ky. because there was a big cliff back there and I'd fall off it. When I was down there a few years ago, I probably walked 3 miles into those woods, and never found the cliff. I think my grandpa had a still back there.

Iwo Jima flag raising

My dad told me he kept the flag from falling sideways and that is why he wasn't in the picture.

My mom used to threaten to send me to the state hospital (mental institution) nearby.

The one by the Wabash? It is only a lie if she didn't mean it. We lived downstream from there. Escapees always went down stream, never up.

Since we lived in Nebraska for awhile ours was we would be sent to Boys Town. When I was 14 I volunteered to go and that threat ended. Maybe it was just a lie all along?

My dad used to say the ice cream cone was made out of cardboard.

 

[Ragenarok007]

No joke.

I can't tell if you're amused. Your right eye looks serious but the left...I don't know. It could be smiling, couldn't it?

Might be winking under there to let you know its a joke.

My uncle had me convinced that tapioca pudding was made out of fish eyes, I still ate it though.

The best one was my mom telling me that she was going to give me to AMVETS. I used to run and hide when I'd see the truck.
