well they sent my dog to the dog farm, soā¦
that ancient people saw all kinds of animals and humanoids in the constellations, and then they show us the map of the constellations and itās just random lines and rectangles
that jesus christ is the son of god
(someone had to say it)
that the mailman was my real dad
That eating certain foods would put hair on my chest. It was meant as an incentive but was a deterrent, plus whatever it was my dad was trying to convince me to eat was something disgusting like gristle.
The way itās taught isnāt supposed to make sense. Like Jesus is the son of God, but heās also supposed to be God like at the same time. Then them kids are like, yo nun, that donāt make no sense. Then she be all like, well aināt supposed to make sense because humans r dumb. And then they just go along with it.
yeah, ridiculousness.
at least with santa claus we admit thatās not real. not so with jesus.
I think the Tooth Fairy teaches children an important life lesson, to take the money and not ask questions.
Re: OP this thread
one day there is gonna be a santa claus child abductor. kids are told not to talk to or go with strangers, but also that santa claus is good and breaks into your house on christmas eve, so why would they know not to go with a child abductor dressed as santa claus?
Yeah, I still donāt get that.
Maybe thatās why the tooth fairy wouldnāt come, and your mom had to do it.
Iāve always though that was more like a mnemonic for remembering the constellations before you could write it down, or use your ipad.
This is the pic on the cover of my kidās creepy ass book. I could totally buy that the wolf just bundled up in a bunch of blankets and comforters and just lay there. Add to it that people just stumbled around in the dark in those days because candles were like $20 a pop. Yeah, voice will sound rough, but grandmas always sound rough, even when they arenāt sick.
The whole what big eyes, ears, etc. bit is great btw. Riding hood is S-tier Grimms.
Could also go in the inflation thread.
I first started buying comics when I was six or seven and my weekly allowance was 20 cents. Disney comics were 20 cents, so each week I went into the store on a Saturday morning and added a new one to my collection. It was something I really looked forward to.
After some months though, I went to pay at the counter and they said ā25 cents, pleaseā and I said there must be some mistake, but they were correct, right there on the top right hand corner of the comic in 1970s Disney font, it said 25 cents. It rocked my world and I went home comicless. My parents gave me a 25% raise the next week (high inflation in those days).
I still think it sucks.
In the original Peter Pan, they didnāt need fairy dust to fly.
That was added as a ādo not try this at homeā feature.
I remember performing the original play and then later seeing the Disney movie and noticing that there were no lines about fairy dust in the play like there were in the movie.
but then you can buy fairy dust at the disney store to sprinkle on your friend before he jumps off the 15th story window
On the TV show Dallas, they replaced actress Barbara Bel Geddes in the role of Miss Ellie with Donna Reed. Yet the grandchildren didnāt seem to notice when Donna Reed appeared. I expected the kids to say, āYouāre not my grandma!ā
Similarly, no one on the show noticed when they replaced the actor Darren on Bewitched, Seinfeldās father on Seinfeld, Vivian Banks on the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Rossā ex-wife Carol on Friends, etc.
