when I was little we used to visit one of my parents' friends who I called 'the moneytree man'. He had a moneytree in his back garden. We would shake the tree and coins would shower down from the branches. Every Christmas he would send us a jiffy bag full of this years windfall/harvest.
I later found out that he stood behind us and threw the coins whilst we shook the tree. It was crushing to find out that there was no moneytree, but he'll always be the moneytree man.
What were you disappointed to find out wasn't real? (no Father Christmas stories allowed).
my tits
apparently i had a boob job when i was 6.
you'd never know
do they feel real?
you tell me, missy, you tell me

Would be the worst taste reply possible to this thread, I think.

when I found out you couldn't really walk on clous and that cloud castles didn't exist.
worst discovery ever.

just general imagination childhood fun.

exactly
Wut? There are other bits of the site?
no, but:
http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/1824274
and I knew if I posted my story there I'd get no replies
SO . . . .
there are no moneytrees, no Father Christmas and you can't walk on clouds.
Anybody else?
well I haven't actually tried ot walk on clouds
so, you know, maybe you can...
if I remember right
the carebears gradually sank if they sat on a cloud too long? Or was this something else?
I think you are correct!
currently I am making everyone use up the old soap in our house before they buy any more so we have a heartshaped carebear soap in the bathroom.
does it smell like
being little?
I like how this thread is just us
talking about carebears and clouds and soap.
not really as I'd never used it, just kept on my shelf in adoration. but it makes me smile every time I see it.
Matey bubble bath
smells like being little.
I had high hopes for this thread, but it seems that noone else on this site had any imagination as a child.
I'd even be willing to open this up to father christmas stories.
ah but see,
this was just generic soap with added carebear sticker type thing.
you want childhood smells, the bodyshops Olive bodybutter smells like my garden did when I used to play in it as a child. I use it every day and it makes me happy
why does suncream
not smell like suncream did when you were little?
that stuff used to smell amazing
I remember going round all the shops a few summers ago sniffing all the suncreams trying to find that one, it just doesn't exist any more.
