20 Reddit Users Share Amusing Stories of “What Your Parents Told You as Kid”
A group of researchers did a “Santa Survey” to find out at what age kids start questioning the fantasies or tales told them by adults. The results revealed that the peak age of belief for children is at 5 years old, and then they begin to piece the truth about Santa Claus, for example, when they reach 8-9 years old. But before that stage of skepticism starts, children tend to trust anything their parents say, no matter how wild and illogical it may be.
Bright Side scoured Reddit for some of the funniest fibs that parents told their kids, and they remind us of our own childhood memories and the amusing stories we also believed in.
