My husband and I have told our daughter that she was born with a tail. If you ask her what happened to it, she’ll say “We had to cut it off when I was born because it wouldn’t fit in my pants.” She honestly believes us, which might make us terrible parents, but I think it’s pretty hilarious.

We will tell her that she wasn’t actually born with a tail before she starts school. Other than that, 4-year-olds don’t have many secrets.

Smoking with my Uncle revealed to me that my dad was married before my mom and that I saw the woman almost every day. I still don’t know who it is, but I now have mini breakdowns because it could literally be anyone.

An ex girlfriend was abused by a neighbor (female). The neighbor also sexually abused her own son, making my ex and him do things to each other. My ex was about two at the time.

The neighbor was caught and went to jail. Her parents kept it a secret from her, hoping she was too young to remember. She exhibited all the signs of trauma, but had no memory of the actual incident. Since her emotional problems were evident, they decided to disclose the truth and work from there. She didn’t find out until she was 16 though.

My friend bought his dad’s old truck from his grandma for $500. When he got home his mom said, “oh hey that’s the truck you were conceived in!”. Didn’t ruin his life but he no longer owns a truck.

When my son was born, he was thought to be a girl due to having an extremely small penis. He’s now 14 and it would definitely have an effect on his life if I let the words slip. :P
