Once me and my friends were friends with this really unpopular kid who was seen as 'uncool'. So we decided to amuse ourselves as well as trying to help him out by making a potion that would make him as cool as we were. We got a bowl and put in milk, marshmallows, orange juice and soy sauce- the special ingredient. Then we convinced the poor kid that if he drunk the potion, it would make him 'cooler'. Luckily it didn't poison him, just left a bad taste in his mouth. After he drunk it he asked "am I cool now?" of course he wasn't any different.

We're still the best of friends today and ironically he is very popular in high school.

My mother told me if you ever told a lie your tongue went grey and thats how she knew id been telling lies. For years I used to vcheck my tongue.

My dad always told us that he fought in WW2 (which was odd because we're Canadian), but it was extra hard to believe because my dad wasn't even born until 1946!

My grandmother used to tell my brother and I that if we were bad that the moon would come down to earth and take us back "up there" with it or that the "Ogre" would take us away forever.

When I was being ugly to my parents or whoever, my parents would tell me I was acting like Hateful Hannah (my names not Hannah and I didn't know anyone with that name). The first time they said this I asked who that was and they told me she was a mean ugly old lady who lived at the dump and if I didn't get my act together they would take me to live with her. They used this threat pretty regularly when I was little. And I believed she was a real person for a long time after I stopped believing they would take me there.

This is not me, but my father. We live in a small town with a volunteer fire department and so whenever the fire department is needed, a siren goes off.

Well, one day, I heard a siren that sounded like the normal siren only distant and my father claimed that the neighboring town had a "shark siren".

My mother thought that sounded a bit weird, and then my father realized that he'd probably been lied to as a kid and bought it all his life! (He's 45, so he'd be believing the lie for decades!). He suspected either his parents, or this one friend he's had for a long time were the ones to lie to him.

When I was young, my brother used to tell me that he, my other brother and myself were all in my brother's stomach at the same time but we would have an argument and the one who wins comes out first. He still lies to me till this date, but I dont believe him anymore. FINALLY GREW UP!!

When I was small, around six or seven, we were talking about groundhog day in school. I drew pics of groundhogs and the like, and for some reason I was really into the whole 'holiday'. I came home from school and we had supper, where my father prepared a special treat: baked groundhog. My father said that that was the reason we had groundhog day-so we could eat it! It was so exciting to eat something new like that. Years later, my mother and I were talking and the truth came out. At the tender age of 18, I was told it was actually hamburger with a bit of rice in it. I was so devestated! LIES, all of it!

"I told your father you'd never forgive him for it," my mother said with a laugh.

To this day, I still have not. And I always bring it up to bug him.

In any case, I feel like a gullible little child...

My best friend from elementary school told us the funniest lie when we were kids, but we all believed it at the time. She was a really tiny girl, short and skinny. It was her distinguishing characteristic. Anyway, one day she told us that her mom had had a miscarriage before conceiving her (true) but that she was the fungus that grew off of the dead fetus, and that was why she was so small!

i used 2 think if u lied your pants would catch on fire cus of the sayin "lier lier pants on fire!"

When I lied my mom would say "Your nose is growing!" and I believed her since pinocchio's nose grew.So, whenever she told me I'd grab on to my nose and scream " TAKE THAT SPELL OF ME!!!!" since the fairygod mother put a spell on pinocchio.

Janelle!

ok, this is pretty mean, but when my sister was about 3, my older brother and i told her that she was born w/o butt cheeks. we told her that they had to put fake ones on, and that she was the first person to ever have that opperation. she really believed us for about 3 years, we don't know how she found out, but she got mad about it. to this day (she is 11 now) she gets mad when we talk about it, but its a good laugh.

When I was a little girl I used to believe that when you told a lie your tounge would turn black. To this day, when my children tell me a "fib" I ask them to stick out their tounges.

When I was 4 I went fishing with my grandfather. He opened a can of tuna for lunch and tossed it in the water. When I questioned him about it he said "Don't worry the cans are made with a special metal the desolves." I went on thinking this until I was 13 and was looking at a can of tuna wondered why the water inside didn't desolve it.

I used to believe (the neighbor girl told me this when I was four) that families in Japan took baths together in bath houses, where the bath water used was human pee, (undiluted).

About five years ago, my sister and I used to do everything together, we worked, lived, shopped and went out drinking together... I use to always complain of having a really dry mouth during the night and that my tounge was like sand paper.. She told me that you are always suppose to drink 4 pints of water every time you go out drinking.. Otherwize you will swallow your tounge! I only found out a few months ago, I can't believe i could be so gullibile for like..4 years..I can be such a bone head! whats funnier is that i am 22 now!

When I was small my cousin covinsed me about that Nokken existed, and that he would eat me if I was not sitting still when he was rowing me around in his rubber boat. Nokken had an owen at the bottom of the lake, that was special designed for small children, adults was to big for the owen,thats why he was not intrested in them.
When I asked my grandparents and parents about if Nokken was real, they said he was, cause they did not wqant me to fall out of the boat since I could not swim.
Needles to say, I learned to swim very late, cause I paniced in water.
