Childhood Stories

We all know that everyone hears different stories growing up to instill fear in us & keep us from doing something.  Also, as time changes, the stories change & adapt.  Kids today are more knowledgeable than they were 50, 20, or even 10 years ago!!

This morning 2 of the ladies at work were discussing how similar their lives were.  Both of them got married a month after high school graduation because it was the right thing for them to do.  One of the ladies got pregnant right after getting married & she was embarrased that everyone would count back & think she was pregnant before being married.

The other lady was pregnant before she finished high school but because it was during a time when you got banned from school for being pregnant, she didn't say a word.  Her mom noticed that she was eating more watermelon than usual so she asked her if she was pregnant & she flipped out and threw the plate of watermelon at her mom.  lol  She said that growing up, her parents never discussed sex, so her friends & her all believed they could get pregnant from french kissing.  lol

What silly stories did you or your parents hear growing up??
