For most girls born in the '90s and early 2000s, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were basically our idols. From their detective work to their "You're Invited" series and their trips abroad, they made us beyond excited to grow up and live glamorous, jet-setter lives.

However, for most of us, their lives set up some unrealistic expectations. Most of our parents would not allow us to disappear with the family dog, solving mysteries at 7-years-old, or allow us to wander around foreign countries with little to no adult supervision as teenagers. Come to think of it, they flat out lied to us about life in the most fun and subliminal way possible. Here are the four lies that got to me the most.

1. Family Vacations

Even though the twins would go on vacations with their family, they spent little, if any, time with them at all. They made all of us think that if we went to the Bahamas, we would be jet-skiing, swimming with dolphins, and kissing cute boys all the while leaving our parents in the room. I don't know about your families, but we tend to spend family vacations as a family.

2. The mean girl always loses in the end.

In their movies, the mean girl would always win for a while, but lose in the end and the twins would walk away with the hunk and their pride intact. Sadly, in real life, the mean girl often wins the boy, the confidence, and life in general. Have you ever noticed that the mean girls always seem to have the best/cutest/most perfect boyfriends? That's not to say that the mean girl will always win, but she most definitely will not always lose.

3. Their Walmart Clothing Line

As one of their loyal followers, I was determined to be like Mary-Kate and Ashley in any way possible. One of those ways was by buying their clothing line at Walmart. However, I don't think they ever wore any pieces of clothing from this line. Meanwhile, we all thought that we were sharing closets with Mary-Kate and Ashley.

4. Boys

There was always a boy for each of them everywhere that they went and they were always the cutest ones there, obviously. Not only that, but they would miraculously make their new relationships work despite the fact that they were 13 and in a foreign country for a week. So, clearly, whenever we go anywhere, that means that the cutest boy will fall in love with us in a matter of hours, right?
