Childhood lies!

As a child, I was told lies to get me to behave. Because I was gullible (yeah, I thought it was written on the ceiling) any bad consequence made me panic.

Some I recall:
Swallowing gum makes me stop breathing
Swallowing a watermelon seed means it's going to grow in my tummy.
My dad is a leprechaun because he has a beard.
Stay inside when the moon comes out
Animals can talk, if you tried enough.
Germs are little bugs that eat you.
The Simpsons teaches you bad things.

And I think there's a bunch more. But I can't remember them all.
