My brother used to say that he was allergic to onions because he did not like them. He was not. My mom told me that when she was a little kid she used to tell people she was allergic to tomatoes because she didn't like them. Did you ever fake an allergy when you were a kid? If so what were you claiming to be allergic to?

i was never that inventive when I was a kid...I would just come out & say I didn't like something.

If I did that, I don't remember it. I did use to lie about being sick. Whenever there was something going on at school that I didn't want to do, I would say I was sick. I was really shy and I hated being in front of people at school, so I would make things up to avoid doing it. I really regret that now because I missed out on some good and fun experiences.

I'm pretty sure I may have, but I can't really recall. Then there are a lot of times where a lot of my early childhood is fuzzy. I'm sure there is something that I did, said that I was allergic from, which might have been code for, "I don't really like this", before I knew what allergic truly meant. I do recall saying that I was allergic to homework on the weekends once, but that was mostly out of jest.
Still I'm sure there is something. I'm pretty certain that I might have done something but recalling exactly what. Perhaps when I was five, six, perhaps I was old enough to make certain statements that were kind of complex but not sure what they really meant. Of course, there are just a lot of times where I said a lot of things when I was a child.

Yes I did. In fact I was quite the story creator when I was a kid and made up all kinds of things to tell people. I told everyone I was allergic to tomatoes because I did not like them and I didn't want anyone to give them to me or try to talk me n to eating them. I even told my own mom I was allergic to them but of course she knew that was not the truth. I also told people that I had eye surgery and I wore a patch to school and everything to feed my lie. Not really sure why I did that I think it was because I had to wear glasses and people made fun of me for it so I wanted to make them feel bad by making them think there was something seriously wrong with my eyes.
But never fake an allergy.I wonder where your brother got the idea just so he won't be forced to eat the ones that he dislike @Kalebtheman (530)
