RE: Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 63:The Lies I Grew Up Believing

She warned my brothers not to get close to any girls, claiming that if they touched a girl, she would get pregnant. She also said girls should stay away from boys to prevent pregnancy.

I don't know why most parents normally hide the truth from their children or lie about this very important matter like this. I think hidden important facts like this can be misleading. Yes, it does more harm than good. My parent never told me a single lie before, especially on matters like this; they told us the truth and all the possible ways a girl can get pregnant, and the reason we should remain morally clean and chaste. They guided us to grow up and make the right choices in life, and we all uphold moral standards and honesty. I want to mimic their style of parenting and never tell my kids a single lie 🤥 because they will grow up to appreciate it.

I understand why God kept the truth about the tree in the Garden of Eden from the first humans.

No, dear God never hid the truth from Adam and Eve; he told them from the beginning that they would die if they ate from that tree. It was Satan who lied to them that they would not die and that they would rather be like God knowing good and bad. We all see the outcome today.

Well, the only thing I grew up to know the truth is the one I've been told that if I swallow orange seeds, it will grow 🪴 on my tummy (hahaha). Well, I wouldn't call that a lie but a joke.

I like reading you and thanks for the invite!

I am glad to hear that you would follow your parent's leading and never tell a lie to your children. I know that in some occasions you must have lied to them for them to do a particular project, maybe like; "if you don't sleep, I won't buy burger for you"

These are lies that parents see as simple but a lie is a lie. Although children like to get such promises to do what they are asked to do.

Mama, don't mind me oo, I was sleeping and typing, I guess I was dreaming when God hid the truth from Adam. It was Satan who lied to them, yes. Thank you for the corrections!

I appreciate your warm response ma'am!
