Juniper berries =/= blueberries. I still don't like blueberries. abbydabbydoodlebug on "What lies do you remember your parents telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lies-do-you-remember-your-parents-telling-you#post-70361 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:37:44 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 70361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My dad loved to tease all us kids that brown cows made chocolate milk and the white/black ones made regular milk. He also had us all believing that huge old Cadillac could fly, but only when we would go 55mph. We would always beg him to do it but the speed limit would coincidentally always be under 55 and he didn't do it because it was against the law to speed. :-p Andrea on "What lies do you remember your parents telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lies-do-you-remember-your-parents-telling-you#post-70353 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:33:00 +0000 Andrea 70353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @artbee: @MsMamaBear: these are cute. my mom was a bit mean. :-D MsMamaBear on "What lies do you remember your parents telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lies-do-you-remember-your-parents-telling-you#post-70340 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:23:07 +0000 MsMamaBear 70340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ That Snoopy lived in this huge white building we passed a lot. no idea WHY.LOL heffalump on "What lies do you remember your parents telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lies-do-you-remember-your-parents-telling-you#post-70336 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:21:28 +0000 heffalump 70336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We passed a factory on the way to gymnastics. My mom told me that it was a cloud making machine, since it was always blowing smoke out into the air.

My mom told me a witch named "Pat" (no idea why Pat) lived next door and if I did anything bad she would come take me and I would have to live with her. I came to be very scared of Pat. My mom must've put my Hello Kitty doll in the washing machine because I remember the eyes falling out of her head. She told me she was going to send it for "repairs" but I never got it back. Grrrr. I'm sure there were lots of other ones ... my mom liked to pull stuff like that!
