Estoy forzando las funciones sinápticas de mi cerebro para remontarme a finales de la década de los 60 y principio de los 70; cuando a los 6 o 7 años empecé a mudar y tuve mi primera experiencia con la economía y la visita de un roedor.
Nací, como muchos de ustedes, en la época de la «inocencia informática», donde había mucho tabú sobre diferentes temas. Algunas de mis creencias infantiles estaban basadas no solo en lo que me decían mis padres, también en las que mis amiguitos escuchaban y compartíamos al jugar.
Puedo mencionar varias de esas creencias con las cuales crecí y se fueron disipando con la edad; claro, pero utilizo una que otra frase con mi hijo Matthew.
- Si dices mentiras, te crece la nariz.
- A los bebés los trae la cigüeña.
- Si te comes un chicle, se te pegan las tripas.
- El coco viene por ti si te portas mal.
- Un ratón viene por los dientes caídos de los niños por las noches y te deja dinero.
- Las mujeres se pueden embarazar por un beso.
- La luna nos sigue cuando caminamos.
- Si ves la tele de muy cerca te quedas ciego.
- Las vacas de color café dan leche con chocolate.
- Desde la montaña más alta se puede tocar el cielo.
- Las nubes son de algodón.
- Si haces bizco se te pueden quedar así los ojos.
- Si estornudas con los ojos abiertos se te pueden salir.
Pero la que más recuerdo es la relacionada con la caída de los dientes y la visita del «ratoncito Pérez». Para ilustrar esta creencia infantil, una pequeña historia que muchos conocen, quizá agregando o quitando algún elemento, pero la idea es la misma…

Gracias a @brujita18 por considerar invitarme a este llamado de la comunidad #mundohispano. Es la quinta vez en seis años que publico en estos espacios. Leí las reglas ampliamente esbozadas.
Creo que aún estás a tiempo de participar, únete a la comunidad de #mundohispano y explota la creatividad literaria que adormece dentro de cada uno… @chironga67, @sacra97, @lauril, @atreyuserver and @castri-ja.

🔆****🔆****🔆****🔆****🔆****🔆****🔆****🔆****🔆****🔆
I am straining the synaptic functions of my brain to go back to the late 1960s and early 1970s; when at the age of 6 or 7 I started moving and had my first experience with economics and a visit from a rodent.
I was born, like many of you, in the era of ‘computer innocence’, where there was a lot of taboo about different subjects. Some of my childhood beliefs were based not only on what my parents told me, but also on what my little friends listened to and shared as we played.
I can mention several of those beliefs that I grew up with and they dissipated with age; of course, but I use a phrase or two with my son Matthew.
- If you tell lies, your nose grows.
- Babies are brought by the stork.
- If you eat chewing gum, your guts stick to it.
- The bogeyman comes for you if you misbehave.
- A mouse comes for children's teeth that fall out at night and leaves you money.
- Women can get pregnant from a kiss.
- The moon follows us when we walk.
- If you watch TV too closely you go blind.
- Brown cows give chocolate milk.
- From the highest mountain you can touch the sky.
- Clouds are made of cotton wool.
- If you squint your eyes can look like this.
- If you sneeze with your eyes open they can pop out.
But the one I remember most is the one about teeth falling out and the visit of the ‘tooth fairy’. To illustrate this childhood belief, a little story that many know, perhaps adding or subtracting some elements, but the idea is the same…

Thanks to @brujita18 for considering inviting me to this call from the #mundohispano community. It is the fifth time in six years that I publish in these spaces. I read the broadly outlined rules.
I think you still have time to participate, join the #mundohispano community and exploit the literary creativity that lulls within each one… @lecumberre, @atreyuserver, @irvinc.
Tell Me the Story: Tell about something innocent that you thought as a child.

I can mention several of those beliefs that I grew up with and they dissipated with age; of course, but I use a phrase or two with my son Matthew.
- If you tell lies, your nose grows.
- Babies are brought by the stork.
- If you eat chewing gum, your guts stick to it.
- The bogeyman comes for you if you misbehave.
- A mouse comes for children's teeth that fall out at night and leaves you money.
- Women can get pregnant from a kiss.
- The moon follows us when we walk.
- If you watch TV too closely you go blind.
- Brown cows give chocolate milk.
- From the highest mountain you can touch the sky.
- Clouds are made of cotton wool.
- If you squint your eyes can look like this.
- If you sneeze with your eyes open they can pop out.
But the one I remember most is the one about teeth falling out and the visit of the ‘tooth fairy’. To illustrate this childhood belief, a little story that many know, perhaps adding or subtracting some elements, but the idea is the same…

I am straining the synaptic functions of my brain to go back to the late 1960s and early 1970s; when at the age of 6 or 7 I started moving and had my first experience with economics and a visit from a rodent.
I was born, like many of you, in the era of ‘computer innocence’, where there was a lot of taboo about different subjects. Some of my childhood beliefs were based not only on what my parents told me, but also on what my little friends listened to and shared as we played.
I can mention several of those beliefs that I grew up with and they dissipated with age; of course, but I use a phrase or two with my son Matthew.

Thanks to @brujita18 for considering inviting me to this call from the #mundohispano community. It is the fifth time in six years that I publish in these spaces. I read the broadly outlined rules.
I think you still have time to participate, join the #mundohispano community and exploit the literary creativity that lulls within each one… @lecumberre, @atreyuserver, @irvinc.
Tell Me the Story: Tell about something innocent that you thought as a child.
