Ha, great thread. My dad was always pretty passive in trying to keep me under control - mainly because he had a rough childhood himself and didn't want to weigh me down with any of the baggage he carries around, but my mum was always threatening me with verbal.
"You'll go to the Bad Fire" and "The Bad Man will get you in your sleep" were favourites. I used to think the Bad Fire was in a neighbouring village called Kirkwood because I looked out the window one day when I was very wee and saw smoke coming from it.
I once filled an entire drawing book one day with around 80 different monsters I thought would stoke that Bad Fire. Some had thoughts for faces, others had teeth for toes.I came across it very recently and felt very, very sad. I was on fire as a kid. My head was filled with fantasticness and fear. I was the Bad Fire. Thanks, Ma.

Father pretty passive,
Never kept me under control,
His rough childhood,
Didn't want to weigh me
At baggage control

You'll go to the bad fire,
And the bad man will get you
In your sleep
You're going to the bad fire,
And bad men shall get you,
In your sweet, sweet sleep

Mother threatened with verbal,
Window smoked some Kirkwood,
Oh so wee,
Fantasticness and fear,
Eighty monsters in a drawing book

You'll go to the bad fire,
And the bad man will get you
In your sleep
You're going to the bad fire
And bad men shall get you
In your sweet, sweet sleep

I thought there was a Morrisey song in that.

Childhood logic is fantastic.

Spookymuffin said:

Aye, but I couldn't have parodied Morrissey with one of my own posts when I was six. Infact, I don't think anyone here has ever written a song about one of their own posts on the org before. Certainly not on the same thread as said post, and definitely not side by side.

Number23 said:

Get over yourself for a day. You're more childlike than anyone I know.

Anx said:

Um you'll need permission if you want to do that!

Number23 said:

I just skip-read what you just wrote because I found you rambling incredibly boring and was looking for something funny.

Hey, at least I'm honest.

Don't constipate matters.

INSATIABLE said:

Is that a compliment? Did you like my song? Did you prefer it to the post? Were they both equally poor or should I write all my responses in verse from now on? You've met me, you call it.

I like it when the pupil snaps from the stoop of the altar.

I didn't confenskate your mattress!

Number23 said:

Whilst I'm not quite sure of the actual meaning of your post..I'm kinda blunt like that with teachers, which gets me a lot of hate from then. For instance, after my Spanish exam was over I had a conversation with my teacher in front of the class which went thusly:

"Ben, it's clear you did no work for Spanish over the holidays, so I don't know what result you'll get."

"Actually, if you'd known me as a pupil, you would have known that Spanish was the only subject I did any work for at all. To me, the fact that you've been so presumptuous as to say that only highlights your flaws to me, in respect to your being a teacher. The fact that you're evidently so supportive as to predict me a B for AS Level is also helpful, perhaps I would be doing better at Spanish if your classes didn't carry such a laissez-faire attitude as they do, and if you didn't stop to tell us how rubbish we all were as linguists every lesson."

He didn't like me much after that.

Spookymuffin said:

No-one likes a smartarse, Ben. But I was the same when I was your age, and aye, I sometimes still am. It's a voice which can't silenced.
Personally, I'd have thrown in a cheap 'cunning linguist' comment into your verbose but aye, it seems you're cultivating a healthy attitude problem coupled with a nippy phyric fury against oppresive authotarian forces in your life. See you in prison!

And now I'm off to bed.

you cheeky cunt.

nobody really apart from the little guy in the fridge who turns the light on and off

ZombieKitten said:

I remember him. I murdered him.

Spookymuffin said:

And what about the little guy that squirts water on the windscreen when you press the button

ZombieKitten said:

I never knew he existed. Where exactly does he live under the bonnet?

superspaceboy said:

I thought he lived up our nose!

My folks made up this character called Strudel Peter. A German boy who never cut his nails and just allowed them to grow. It was a bit of a strange thing to make up. I think it was some morality tale to make me cut my nails. I remember taking it very seriously indeed. Personally, I think people should be allowed to grow their nails to any length they like. Not that I would because I would look like a girl or just weird.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

he was not made up

ZombieKitten said:

That was freaky!

I just tell my son I am gonna put him in the green recycling bin so the bin men will recycle him into a well behaved little girl. He just giggles!

I got the same story as a kid
JD, did they tell you that you'd shrivel away to skin and bone and die if you didn't eat your soup?
