Our parents lied

This was on the radio yesterday and I thought it’d be fun to try here…

What lies did your parents tell you to get you to behave when you were a kid?

Things like

“If you watch TV any longer, you’ll get square eyes”

“If you eat anymore bananas you’ll turn into one”

“If you bite your nails they form a big ball in your stomach and you’ll need an operation”

“Ketchup burns a hole in your stomach”

One I heard on the radio yesterday was from a mother who admits to telling her 6 year old son that “Sprouts sometimes have chocolate inside” :lol:

How about you, any good ones?

Please no mention of the bogeyman…that guy scares me :frowning:
