October 4, 201015 yr i used to think the water treatment works at the top of our street was an orphanage where you got gunged if you were naughty, like Noel's House Party. She was a right piece of work my mum!
October 4, 201015 yr There was this kid once went missing and was found dead by this little lake somewhere, it had made national news and the lake looked very similar to one near our house where we used to knock about (because it was forbidden!) anyway, my old girl showed me the story in the paper, told me that it was the lake near ours and that there was a child killer who lived underneath the water, and if I got too near he might try to grab my ankles and drag me in! Never went near that fucker for 15 years afterwards!
October 4, 201015 yr Used to think (fantasise) that I was adopted and my 'real' parents would come and find me and take me to their country mansion cos they'd be rich as fuck. Still waiting.
October 4, 201015 yr its got me thinking this thread, as a fairly new parent myself - what kind of wacky tales can i tell my little girl that she'll believe for her whole childhood! not scary ones, nice imaginative ones! i had quite an active imagination growing up come to think - mind you, when i was little, i was watching totally fucked up films like The Labyrinth, Never ending story, and Dark Crystal! bound to make any 4 year old go mental!
October 4, 201015 yr I was terrified of going to big school as I was told we all had to walk around the assembly hall naked for a medical. I never swam in Rivi Reservoir because I was told there was a big hoover type pipe that would suck you under if you swam in it! For a short time I thought male dogs were called Bastards. I now take great delight in winding my sisters kids up about everything at every opportunity.
October 4, 201015 yr my dad used to go on about the TB injection and how it was a huge needle and it would hit your bone. he tried to scare the crap out of me as it approached at school, he was gutted when my mum told him i already had it done when i was a baby!
