8 Ridiculous Lies that Children Believed

  1. Little Hand

  • Let’s not pretend that adults are the only tricksters; kids are devious little con-artists too, especially in the playground.
  • A boy born with one hand had the last laugh on some of his classmates; the hand was partially grown, so it was smaller and had little finger nubs. For years in elementary school he told other kids that an alligator had bitten off his arm and that his smaller hand was just growing back in.
  • He roped some of these kids into his con for years until they finally noticed the hand hadn’t grown an inch in the time they’d known him. I’m sure it was fun while it lasted though.**
  1. Fart Bomb

  • Bodily functions are another mysterious subject for the younglings. Particularly farts.
  • One poor kid believed that if you held in a fart for too long, it would combine with the other farts over time and you eventually exploded. Which is pretty damn terrifying.
  • Every time he had to cut the cheese, he thought he had to expel it immediately, like a fart demon, or else BLAM, the whole family would be incinerated. That’s a lot of pressure for a kid. But I’m guessing that when he ripped out an anal bagel he looked at his Dad and said “I’m doing this because I love you.”
  1. Black Tongue Moan

  • One cheeky Gran conned her grandchildren into always telling the truth.
  • She convinced them that their tongues turned black whenever they told a lie. So the kids would come up with different strategies to hide their blackened tongues while they were telling a lie, only to give themselves away. When they tried to see for themselves if their tongues turned black, Gran was all “Oh it only happens for a few seconds.”
  • Ahh Gran, you crafty old bitch. Old people, be warned; you never know who’s gonna be turning off your life support.
  1. Creepy Santa

  • Some stories your parents tell you leave you worse for wear psychologically and this case is no different.
  • When asked how Santa was able to see when he was naughty or nice, one Mom told her son that Santa watched kids; through the air ducts. That guy definitely did more harm than good by giving his preteen some serious anxiety about masturbation. “Please don’t watch me tonight, Santa. I’ll be good tomorrow, I swear.”
  • Well, thanks to that Mom, he most likely grew up to be a peeping Tom. This is as bad as the kids that were permanently scarred by watching “The Truman show”.
