Growing up our backyard neighbors were Buddhists. They had done up their whole yard to be a missive zen garden type deal. Ponds, little rivers between those ponds, a big ol gazebo and sand pit.. lowkey a dream backyard. As a child it was a point of endless curiosity over our talk rotting fence. I would try and sneak peeks when I could but it was an ongoing mystery to me because our yard was muddy and ugly.
When I was young, like >7, sometimes if I did something bad my parents would lift me up and carry me to the fence yelling that they were going to feed me to the budda people.
Naturally, I was fucking terrified of Buddhists. It wasn’t until I was maybe 15 or so when we learned about them in school that I realized Buddhists aren’t actually cannibals.
Tldr Buddhists are cannibals
I'm sorry, couldn't help myself... Do you mean <7?
Nah they still get threatened like that by their parents
Yeah I was high when I typed this, I was like 4-7ish years old
That's hilarious! Reading this I can't tell if your parents were pulling your leg or horribly racist. Please tell us your parents have a sense of humor.
Buddhists are NOT cannibals.
Close, they just have a great sense of humor AND they’re racist! 😃
