stupid things

[Thomasgeorge]

What stupid things did your mum and dad tell you when you were young. They told me santas elves are everywhere

[AUSTIN316426808]

I didn't get any of the usual holiday bull(santa, easter bunny ect.). Also didn't get many(if any) of the others, such as the tooth fairy for example.

Elves are everywhere. That's not stupid. It's just your notion of elves that's stupid.

My parents didn't exactly try to tell me anything stupid, but they did take me to church. While for some people that wouldn't be stupid, but for me it was stupid. I didn't belong there.

[Posher778]

My parents are stupid in general.

[Haunted]

That explains a lot, Posher....:D I kid. I kid. Why do you say that, Posher, other than the fact that everyone thinks their parents are stupid until you reach a certain age?

[PR3SSUR3]

That there are no monsters - but there are.

And they mostly come at night.

Mostly.

:eek:

LOL


My parents were classically screwed up. I was raised Southern Baptist in south Georgia, and my mom happens to be a pathological liar, so I thought I was crazy until I moved out of the house....one of her favorite things was "don't have sex until you're married or you'll burn in hell" but I found out when I was 22 that she was five months pregnant with me when she married my dad....who also happened to be her drill sargeant....

Parents say the damndest things....

This was more stupid on my part than theirs..but when I was little my parents were on welfare...and for the longest time I used to think the Welfare cheese came from the local bar.....lol mom died laughing when I finally asked her about it.

[stubbornforgey]

Oh fuck!!
these were the little stories i was told..
Don't whistle in the house at night..cos your singing to the dead.

Don't answer an owl or they will follow your reply and live on your windowsill forever.

Don't have pictures of fantails..cos they represent the dead.

If you look at yourself in the mirror for too
long..your face changes.

Never hang your undies on the outside of the line cos your future boyfeind is imprinted on the material and ppl will be able to see who it is..

no wonder a lot of our generation are fucking crazy'.

[Miss Olivia]

LOL....this is awful, but when I was a little kid my dad would fart and then yell "There goes the little elephant, catch him, quick" and of course I would go crawling under the furniture looking for the little elephant....cruel and unusual.....

[Haunted]

That happened to Bill Cosby too, Miss Olivia.

Stubborn, that's really interesting that you were raised with superstitions like that. I mean, I know you think it's crazy, but I don't think I know many people raised with superstitions. We Pagans are sorta schizophrenic about superstitions because since we believe the source, shouldn't we believe the sayings or some shit? I don't know.

I was always told that if I called my brother a fool I'd go to hell. I could call him a cock sucking dick faced mother fucker, but if I called him a fool, I was going to hell. This was based on some phrase in the Bible and my grandparents were Baptists. Some Baptists take everything in the Bible as literal. Weird.

[Miss Olivia]

Wow, I never knew I had so much in common with Bill Cosby....

I know what you mean, I was going to hell from the time I was five years old, so as I got older I started resenting it more and decided that if I was already going to hell for not cleaning my room and watching t.v. too late, I might as well make it count.....
now I just live by things that I perceive as true, my experiences, my theories and my own power as a living, cognizant human being and I'm a much happier person.

[PR3SSUR3]

A: Superstitions have no logical validity whatsoever

:cool:

If you chew on your hair you'll get worms

[Posher778]
