One mother (and father) played the long game.

my parents told me I was allergic to sugar and would die if i ate it. they even went and brought “alternative snacks” to my school teachers like carrot sticks and peanuts for them to stock up for me and hand out when the other kids got birthday cupcakes. Not the worst thing they could have done to me, but it sucked. I totally believed them until i went to visit my aunt and realized that ice cream and m&m’s were FUCKING AMAZING.

But the weirdest thing was that until the 5th grade I believed in the Halloween fairy. I still got to dress up in a costume and go trick or treating for hours, but at the end of the night i would leave my bag of candy outside my bedroom door, and overnight the fairy would take it and leave me a new bag full of crackers and fruit snacks and other “treats” while in reality my parents just ate all my candy.
