What's the biggest lie your parents told you growing up?
you see, in indonesia we get this scrappy piece of paper everytime we pay for toll roads. it serves for nothing, obviously. most people just throw them away as soon as they get them.
.
but when i was like eight, my parents were like "YEAH IF YOU COLLECT LIKE TEN OF THESE PAPERS, YOU CAN TRADE THEM IN FOR A POPSICLE."
.
needless to say i collected them EVERY.SINGLE.TIME WE PAID A TOLL-BOOTH. i got up to 10 and my parents actually took them and gave me a popsicle, which i instantly devoured. i was very convinced and determined to collect all the toll scrap paper i can get.
.
this went on until i was 13. then one day i tagged along with my friend on his parents' car and when they threw away the scrap paper i got very furious. and when i tell them that we could have traded 10 of it for a popsicle, they laughed so hard and told me the truth.
.
well played, my parents. well played.
