My parents used to tell me that they were Twisted Sister. My babysitter would come over, and my parents would be going to one of their "parties". They would tell me that they had to do it for the people. I knew who Twisted Sister was, they were my favorite band at the time..., WOW I totally believed them! Time passed and I eventually found out that my parents weren't them at all. What a let down.
I'd say that goofin' with your kids is way more entertaining for you, than your kids. Your setting them up for a let down.
I have minimal psychological damage from the teachings of my parents but, I think about some of their hijinx when I was a kid , and all I can say is, I really hoped they were telling me the truth. What a huge letdown, to find out that your idols were lying to you. Ahhh, whatever...I'm not in prison and I don't torture animals, so they must have done something right.
