Lies your parents told you

We've all done it or heard it - "if you're naughty then Santa won't come" ,"if you pull that face and the wind changes, you'll stay looking like that"


I remember that my mum and dad told me that babies came when a boy and girl kissed and passed on a seed (I later kissed a girl and informed her she was now pregnant)

my wife was told by her parents:

1) that you shouldn't swim after eating...because your tummy will explode

2) if you press the button in the midle of a cars handbrake then it will selfdestruct

but what clearly nonsence lies have you been told or told your kids.

That there was a little tomte in the fridge turning the light on and off

my mum told me that if i swallowed chewing gum i'd poo out bubbles.

They always said that if we stared a handicapped people we will end up just like them.
They could have just said stop looking it's rude to stare

Parents are liars.

I never went blind

There was something else too but I've forgotten what it was....butit only clicked a few weeks ago and Im in my 30s - must have been good!!

I looked in our road rules, it doesn't even say! Under 7s don't have to have a booster in the back seat. I always thought it was 9 for front seat

I think now it's about height because of the Air Bags - well that's what I tell the Kids so they don't ask

If u swallow a watermelon seed it will grow in ur belly.

Stop cracking ur knuckles it will give u arthritis.

Stand too close to the tv and u will go blind.

If you keep sucking your thumb it will wear down to a stump.

This was reinforced by the fact they knew a guy who had lost his thumb....sneaky!!!!
