When Innocent Fibbing Snowballed into Unbelievable Truths: 35 Kids’ Lies That Took a Wild Turn
Now 20+ years later, I found out from one of my younger cousins who later went to my same school, that apparently it became a school legend that the 2nd grade class is haunted. There was never a story like that the entire time I was there, so I guess I created an urban legend. And the story that’s passed down, has all of my made up details with a couple added on. So I know it was the one I made up 20+ years ago lol.
My younger brother was a really dumb kid. I managed to convince him that badgers were mythical creatures like dragons or unicorns. He then freaked the f**k out after seeing a dead badger on the road on his way to school. They had to call our parents. But that’s not where it ends. During the subsequent talk about badgers actually being real and seeing one wasn’t noteworthy, he confessed that the reason he was dumb was because he had a carrot in his brain. A couple of years before, I’d done a really s****y attempt at a slight of hand trick. I pushed a carrot ‘into his head’, but actually pushed it up my sleeve. It never even occurred to me that he thought it was real. He’d spent the last couple of years literally thinking he had a carrot in his brain, and that was the reason he sucked at spelling…
I used to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night as a teenager. We had a rickety back screen door that my parents both loved the sound of because it reminded them of an old country screen door.
I required this door to commence my nighttime shenanigans. I WD40ed the hinges to make it quieter. What I did not intend was for it to silence the country creakiness entirely. I felt terrible because I also liked the creaky door, but my selfish a*s carried on. Never heard a word from my parents. No comments on why the door suddenly became quiet or anything. I got away with murder.
