My parents told me this whopper about an old man breaking into our house every December to reverse-burgle us, but otherwise I don't remember anything.

I got a new procreate brush set... could u tell 👀 also I don’t remember if I asked questions about it but I remember asking him all the time and he would never relent, always say it was fly poop that eventually I was like “if he hasn’t slipped up it must mean that it’s true” 😅

Growing up, my mom told me if I watched too much TV, I would grow a fox tail. I was so scared! 😳

omg!!! growing a foxtail actually sounds kind of dope now I'm disappointed I haven't grown one considering how much TV I watch as an adult!!

😂 I always imagined myself as Raccoon Mario when she told me that. Seems kind of epic now.

That my eyes would turn into little squares if I watched TV too long. I believed that one FOREVER.

I stared at people and things a lot as a kid, and I guess my mom was a bit embarrassed by that. When we were at a food court, I stared at some poor SOB eating. Mom told me if I stared at that man for too long, he'll turn I to a demon(?). And objects I stared at too long would turn into monsters. So weird.

This was gold! I noticed you were handwriting the dialogue now and was hoping your hand was better. Happy recovery and congrats on the book being out in the world! I preordered and haven't gotten my copy yet, so this is a good reminder to check in on that.

In an attempt to encourage me to eat the crust, my parents used to tell me that eating the crust on sandwiches would make my hair curly. Well, that really backfired on them because I did NOT want curly hair as a child. The kicker is, as an adult, now I WISH I could have curly hair, but alas, eating the crust on every sandwich I come across has yet to do the trick. Haha!

Lian, this is sooo great. Love the new style too. The lie that came to mind is that randomly my sister and I convinced my brother that women could pop their hips out of place on command which is why they could sway their hips. He was skeptical until we said, “How else would they be able to have babies?” I wonder to this day if he still believes that 😂
