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 ☹
