When Innocent Fibbing Snowballed into Unbelievable Truths: 35 Kids’ Lies That Took a Wild Turn
After we completed a module on red brown color blindness in middle school biology, I told my classmates that I was red/brown color blind in one eye. They would have me close my “good” eye and have me guess the color… it was incredibly dumb but seemed harmless. Unfortunately, they were so fascinated that it became disruptive and the teachers overheard.
The teachers told my parents that I was apparently losing color vision in one eye and it spiraled to me continuing to fake the situation until I had to come clean to a neurologist who was about to send me for a (not covered by our insurance) MRI.
When I was in 6th grade, we had a day where the entire elementary school was doing spring cleaning. All the grades 1st-6th had an assigned duty. My class were in charged of sweeping and mopping all the classes. I was assigned to the 2nd grader’s class, along with 3 other from my class. As is expected of 2nd graders, they kept running into the class for one reason or another, and that made it hard for us to do our job.
Now, the 2nd graders class for some reason, is the only class with a curtain and it’s always closed. Even though it faces the back of the school and there’s trees covering the window and it’s not facing the sun at any part of the day. So, I made up a story that in the past someone hung themself on one of the trees and the reason it has those curtains is because sometimes during the day time, the ghost of that student can be seen sitting on a branch of the tree. And it just so happen that day at that time, the ghost decides to hang around the tree. I made my group go along and we pretended to see the ghost and ran out the class(we needed a water break anyways). The story worked and it spread to all the 2nd graders in about 1hr. None of them wanted to come back to class. And my group was able to finish the work.
