Lies We Tell The Young

So young, so innocent, their fresh faces turn to us for wisdom, guidance, and advice and what do we do? We LIE!

Here is just a small sample of the lies we tell the young:

Lie: Childbirth doesn't hurt.
Truth: Yeah it does! And parenthood keeps on hurting for a lifetime (all that stress, worry, the teen years, empty nest - yikes!)

Lie: You grow wiser as you get older.
Truth: You get more absent minded as you get older, so you forget most of the dumb things you say and do, so you only "think" you're wiser.

Lie: What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Truth: What doesn't kill you, you sometimes wish it did, all it makes you is older, more tired, a lot more cranky, and often constipated.

So listen to Old Bitty - set the truth free, stop telling lies to the young!
