The Girl Who Cried Rat... and Bat... and Roach... and a bunch of other stuff.

 This story was possible thanks to a friend of mine who finally admitted to her flaws.


I guess you are wondering about the title.

Let's get this straight. In my childhood, I had a habit of telling falsehoods... very often.

It was my version of pranks back then, but you can just say I had an incurable lying problem...as at then.


I was fond of my own version of the truth, as I said earlier. Hence, nobody believed me when I spoke most of the time.


I lied that there was a frog in the kitchen...

I lied I saw a scorpion...

I lied that there was a snake in the backyard...

I lied 

a lot.


Looking back, most of them were animal related, I wonder why.

A day came, when I would pay for my lies... sort of.


I was standing in the kitchen with my elder brother and my mom, when I saw a rat scuttle across the floor in the kitchen store.


I screamed "RAT!!!!!"

Of  course they ignored me.

Jokes on them, this time there actually was a rat.


And it was discovered when my brother almost stepped on it while he was getting something from the store.


You know how Tom jumps on Jerry in the cartoons when something scary happens and Jerry carries him?

It doesn't work that way in real life.

He jumped.

I fell.

My mom saw the rat.



She screamed.

We screamed.

It ran.



I'm still not sure who got the laugh till now.

    🤣🤣🤣Reminds me of the story of the girl who had a habit of crying 'wolf' when there was none. Nobody believed her when the real wolf came and ate her all up

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
