i listen to my parents and i wonder what they believe (Lucy Jiao)

this article talkes about what the childen think of their parents' belief while they are given home-nurture. and i found something about the parents have told us when we were little



from:http://bluffcharging.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/lies-your-parents-told-you/

I keep remembering all those weird lies they told me when I was a kid. So here’s a few of the best:
“If you swallow melon seeds, a melon will grow in your stomach” - Um, why did they tell me this. Did they have a deal with a local therapist? Who knows.
“If you swallow chewing gum, it will stick your insides together.” - This one used to terrify me.
[Said when I was pulling a strange expression] “If the wind changes, you’ll stay like that” - This didn’t even make sense at the time.
“If you sit too close to the television, you’ll go blind” - There were lots of other lies they told about things that would make me go blind, but this was the first.
“If you eat lots of carrots, you can see in the dark” - Um, not after sitting so close to the television, I can’t.
“If you’re bad, Santa Claus won’t bring you any presents” - This is actually true, right ?
“If you go out dressed like that, you’ll catch a cold” - The common cold is a virus. It has nothing to do with the weather.
There’s probably plenty more but those are the ones that have stayed with me all this time.

what they think when they said that to us? maybe they were taught those white lies from their parents and so on.

i always believe my parents, even their lies. i guess i was a good kid, they must have reason of lieing to me; what they believe, i think, they wanna me know that the world is evil and i need to protect myself. definately they are right, but i dont have to believe them, you know; world is beautiful, and evil is just one part of the beauty of the world. i love advantures, most of the time, i love messing up with evil stuff, so when/if i have child one day, i will teach him/her the truth.
