I thought of this title after reading in another thread where Scorpio's uncle told them stories of the "chicken people". My uncle has a story about Tealease Faw. He made the story up about this old cajun who lived in the swamps who would go around putting bad kids in his potato sack after my brother kept trying to go outside after dark when he wasn't supposed to. The story goes that, that is how Tealease fed the alligators, he'd grab all these little kids that didn't listen.

What was your favorite made up bedtime story?

I always liked "The Night Before Christmas" as a bedtime story. Santa would probably be arrested in this day and age for landing on people's roofs in the middle of the night, but it was such a magical time when I was a child to believe in something you couldn't see.

My dad used to tell my sister and I Tarzan stories before bedtime when we were little. I don't remember the details of the stories (it was a long time ago), but he made them up himself.I'm not sure why he came up with Tarzan as the central character for the stories, but we loved them! I should ask my Dad and my sister if they remember any of the plot lines all these years later.


(I'll bet that you and your bro sure listened to the grownups after hearing that scare Tealease Faw story...lol!)

I can't say I ever remember being told or read bedtime stories. Hmm, maybe that created some sort of character defect? Or maybe it is just old age afecting my memory?

By the way, the chicken people lived in the closet and only came out at night.


In addition to that story,my uncle, who was onlytwelve years old when I was six, also made up a really gross story called the "Booger Children." This wasa story about some nasty little kids who picked their noses so much that they "saved" the boogersin a large crocus sack.After many years, they had largesacksof boogers, which they carried from town to town and sold to grown-ups, who would buy them for a nickel apiece, cook them and eat them.


I know, totally gross. But we had too much time on our hands, and my uncle was at the gross age of adolescence. And I, with the overactive imagination of a future artist, believed every word he said. Whenever I used to tell my own children about the outrageous stories my uncletold us, they would laugh themselves silly!!

Landstar, I believe you are from the south, right? Did you ever hear the story of "Raw Hide and Bloody Bone?" My grandfather used to tell us that story. He passed on when I was twelve years old and I never knew if it was legend or something he made up. The exact story line is vague to me, but its basically about a witch in a cabin whoscared bad children by chanting the phrase, "Raw Hide and Bloody Bone, commie, commie, commie coe...." Whatever in the world that meant!


Gosh! No wonder I was filled with nameless terrors as a child!!!

Yes, I am from the south but never heard that tale. Thank goodness or I may have had a night mare. My parents weren't big on telling us scary stuff. My Mom at Easter time had a great story about Brier Rabbit and LoPan that we just loved. It was about how they wanted candy and so one of them played possum in the middle of the road, pretending to be dead, and they put him in the wagon with the candy and he got to eat all he wanted. We loved that story; we'd make her tell it over and over again.

Wow, neardc, I never really thought about how those boogers were prepared! You have an imagination yourself! Did you forget the hot sauce?[img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif[/img]
