My cousin is a redhead with lots of freckles. When she was little her older brothers and sisters told her that she was really adopted and that her parents got her in Mexico and that she was really black but they spray-painted her skin. That was why she had freckles. It was really just the paint pealing.

She believed them and one day when she was in trouble she shouted at her mother, "You just don't like me because I am black!" Her mother was totally shocked when she learned about what my cousins had told their little sister. Mean kids!

I had an uncle once who started telling tales of when he was a little girl. Had a female cousin of mine in tears. She wanted to grow up to be a woman.

That is a riot.

We used to point our fingers at my sister when she was little. She'd cry everytime. I did try to convince my family that I was adopted. I mean I couldn't possibly be related to those strange blonde/light-haired people. Strange is the key here.
