Funny Lies Our Mother Told Us by Depressed101(op): 12:23pm On Dec 01, 2019
When I was a child. I once asked my mother what killed old Roger and why he had an orange tree planted over his grave in our nursery rhythm book.

Her reply:
Old Roger ate orange and swallowed the seed, so the orange tree grew out of his Belle and caused him to die. grin

I believed it with all my heart, and I never swallowed an orange seed upto this day, in fact I hate orange.. But it was all a lie.

Another one
I ask my mother a series of questions from who born God, to how did you a baby inside your tummy (that time she was pregnant with our last born).

Her reply;
God put it in there.

I asked When.

She replied
At night when everyone is asleep. grin

I grew up to argue with my friends that you can't get pregnant from fxcking grin you can imagine how much I hold her words. (I think parents should be careful what they tell their kids).

It was my father who called me in when I was 13-14 or so to tell me that I was now man. That my privk was able to bring forth a baby if it ever makes contact with a girls virginal.. grin


Another one and the funniest of them all.

My mum used to hide to eat stuffs at night, stuffs like suya/pepper soup /tea/malt and milk.

Every morning we will wake up and see plates that we didn't use yesternight. It kept happening until one day, i planned it with my junior sister to find out who is giving us overload of dishes to wash every morning. The plan was to pretend that we are asleep.

I think the time should be 11am when started hearing kpokoro kpokoro in the kitchen

My father will buy those stuffs for her a d goto sleep, I think she was pregnant those periods and was sending my father messages upandan at night (poor man grin). You all those pregnancy behaviors
.

So I and my sister sneeked upon my mother, enjoying herself at the front verandah malt milk suya you name it grin. This woman was enjoying while my father was crashing in bed probably tired fr work and running errands grin.

" we catch you" I chorused with my sister.
My mother startled alil bit. And started...

Oooooh who wake this children ah...
She makes move to hide the stuffs.
But it was too late we've seen it all.

Mummy we want some... We said sheepishly..
At this point she resorted to Igbo and said

(pls pardon my Igbo)
Ngwa nu, make una go backyard and find "Omuru Nwa Erihi iye" (mother wey nor fit eat in peace)..
If you find her I will give you malt and milk..

Stupid kids, we didn't hear Igbo, grin so we went to the back yard to look for "Omuru Nwa Erihi iye". grin

We came back and asked her how the thing looked like, she said it looked like a bird that it's at the back yard that we should hurry to find it before the milk finishes. grin

Ba3 lo to be continued add yours grin

continued....

So we went back to the backyard to find and bring back an imaginary "Omuru Nwa Erihi iye"... We reached the backyard and nepa took light. We stood transfixed for some minutes in the passage leading to the backyard, my sister clutching my hands..

She called my name out, her voice sounding terrified. "I see it, I see it, it's there" she pointed into the dark.

Where" I shouted...
Only to be terrified myself when I sighted something that looked like "Omuru Nwa Erihi iye"

That's how we tear race, then she injured her eye.

I can't remember if my mother gave us the Nri Upiazu (back stage food).
But I can remember that they bought a lot of things for junior sishuh

My last entry was removed by the same anti-spam bot.. This happens all the time, seun should make a list of censored words biko.

Anyway thank you for reading through my top secrets (obviously).. I will bring back the last entry when the second ban expires after editing it.
Gracias

I read the post before it was removed and I didn't seem to understand what was wrong that made them delete it. This anti spam bot must be a piece of work.
Anyways, I didn't know you were banned, I spotted you reading the thread where I mentioned you and I felt you didn't want to talk about it. That was why I removed the post. Welcome back.

Haha.... My grandma gave me this fabuu when I was young . I don't know why I still haven't dared it when older sha.

When I was about 6 my mum told me and my bro that the doctor said we shouldn't eat noodles. I drank that hook, line and slinker o.

I didn't know it was just money-saving strategy to get us to continue eating eba and drinking garri.

Choi!

And you know how much little kids love noodles na. That was even the period when there was this old indomie advert where a man was eating noodles from this large bill board.

Na to just sit in front of the TV and be swallowing spit.

Children Ehn!
