Things your mom/dad told you that were not true.

[FSULongM]

My dad was really fond of saying you could never trust a man that didn't have a firm handshake, and wouldn't look you in the eye. I've met several d-bags over the years that would lie to your face while giving a firm handshake.

Richard Nixon will be one of the greatest presidents ever.

dems are for the working man and the farmer

This was true back in the day. Now they are just flat out worthless.

"I'll kill you and shit another one that looks just like you"



My dad isn't much of a science person.

We're brothers? Probably not. I believed mine until they day he died.

This spanking will hurt me more than you.
We love all our children equally.

If you put too much pepper on your food it'll turn your liver as black as the ace of spades. I took my chances anyway with my Mom's food.

If I drank coffee as a 4 year old, I would turn black like the coal man.

Could've been, except mine is currently in the land of the living. He had lots of kids so we were expendable.

My mom was up front in telling me it would hurt me more. She used any device she could find, close by, to use on my ass.

If my mom uttered "wait til your Dad gets home", it's only because she beat my ass and he deserved a turn. That may have happened once.

Seattle sweet corn is the best that you will ever have.

My Dad deemed me expendable at an early age, even w/out many kids. Went to college. Got a job. Visited occasionally to wax his truck or minor repairs and it's like he never wanted to drop me off at a safe haven spot at age 14.

Onions and other foods put hair on your chest.

America is the best country on Earth.

It was then. Now it's tRumpville.

My dad saw right thu his lies. He's spinning in his grave w this nimrod.

That's a real nice story McLovin. Thank you for sharing.

Well, that is pretty much the D.A.R.E. program for every GenX/millennial and the conclusion they came to.

 

[Titus Andronicus]

"Trickle-down economics is proven and air-tight."

Actually, there have been a number of proofs worked out.

What trips many people up is that in the real world, it is not always clear where the dollars are trickling down from.

Private sector trickle down seems to work much better than government trickle-down. (Which frankly does not appear to me to work at all; it leaves too much hubris, such as lots of jobless poor people who want things.)

The other trip-up is that people seem to want instant results and end up comparing this magnificent theory to things like "Cash-for-clunkers" or giving everyone a one time only extra $50 tax refund. Those are not theories in even the most vague sense; they are simply things born of eye-popping stupidity ... who think the economy is something you fix, and not something you build over time. I bet your dad never bought into any of that nonsense.

My dad did tell me back in high school that if I ever tried pot it would lead to me using a bunch of other, harder drugs. So I didn't smoke in high school. But started smoking pot in college. A lot. And now I'm 30, and still smoke pot occasionally, without other drugs. Now we openly talk about it, and he admits he was just saying that to scare me.

Dooz he smoke with you?

If you swallow a watermelon seed a watermelon will grow in your stomach.

I thought that’s how women got pregnant. 😳

My mom would tell us young kids about a place called “The Little Kids Home”. She would pick up the phone and pretend to call when she was pissed at us. “Go wait in your room, the little kids home is on the way to pick you up.”

 

[McLovin32]

Dooz he smoke with you?

Haha no he doesn't but he is retired now and it's crossed my mind a few times that I should introduce him to some of the Delta 9 THC drinks available now. I'm guessing he'd enjoy those

I LOL'd...My dad believed in time travel. He would always tell us kids to "shape up or I'll backhand you into the middle of next week."

When moving something breakable, Pops would admonish us to “mind how you handle it”.
