Fictatious People Your Parents seemed to know SUre we all heard of Mr Boogieman living in the basement, but my folks made an art at coming up with names of people who did not exist...
We had "Bobo The Tent Maker" and "King Faruk". I have no idea who these folks were or where they came from. One makes clothes and one's some sort of King of the Universe or something! Did your parents ever make up any people to scare you to do stuff? Or made the off reference of someone you had no idea about, yet they would cackle at the mere mention of said person?

Well we had the Cucuuy (Koo-koo-ee) which was like a child thief. I was so scared of the cucuuy when I was a kid 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

No my parents were pretty honest with us about everyone, including people like "Santa Claus." It was the kids that made up fictatious - fictitious I mean - people. They were handy to blame things on, rather like Herman now. HE'S COMING AGAIN | |

My folks used to scare with a guy they called the Dentist! Said he would come and remove all my teeth if I didn't brush them!
If only I knew my teeth would fall out all by themselves, I wouldn't have been so scared! | |

my parents never made up any bogeyman to scare me into behaving. they were scary enough on their own.
i DID freak out about sammy terry for a while, but eventually i came to really like the old ghoul. | |

Ex-Moderator | My older brother used to tell me that cannibals lived under my bed. I was scared so everynight I would run and jump on my bed from as far away as I could so I wouldn't get mear the edge of it. Then one night he snuck into my room, hid under the bed, waited until my mom put me to bed and turned out the lights and waited a few minutes more for good measure and I slowly saw this hand creep up on top of the bed from under it.
I screamed and cried and ran from the room. He was MEAN!! [Edited 7/13/06 13:08pm] |

My brother and sister would tell me bout my older brother Arnold, who was taking a syringe to my dad to inject a pig with medicine. Arnold slipped and injected himself thus turning himself into a pig.
When I asked Where He was now, Dad sold him to the market. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. | |
