My Auntie used to tell me and my cousins that if we didn't duck when we were in a car/train going under a tunnel, we'd hit our heads.

•The Lie: My mother told me we left Maryland (my birth-state) because the economy required workers to switch jobs every 6 months.
The Truth: My dad couldn't hold a job there, and the economy of Maryland was nothing like that.
•The Lie: All males want to look at pornography when they phase into adolescence.
The Truth: Not all males do this. They are inclined to do this and be curious because of hormones and whatever, but not ALL of us do this.
•The Lie: Broccoli come from trees.
The Truth: While they do look like them, broccoli does not come from trees.
•The Lie: Video Games melt your brain and turns them to mush after half an hour of engaging in gameply.
The Truth: Video games only hinder the proactivity of people. It encloses the audience in an engaging gameplay, distracting them from things that may be of priority. In this case, my dad, the one who told me this myth, was trying to keep me from developing a right brain.
•The Lie: Cartoons give you bad dreams.
The Truth: While I did have nightmares as a kid, and watched a lot of Pokémon anime, the two were never connected. It's complete bullshit, if you ask me.

That the Easter bunny, Santa, and the tooth fairy weren't real.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold da phone. Are you saying that Santa isn't real?... gtfo, you're lying.

Man you deserve a medal for reading in my minds.
Well I got the classics of Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. I never asked too much about those things that, you know... us, kids... don't want to know about them... at this early age *erhem*.

Finite is the biggest number.
Finite isn't even a number, it's more of a concept really. I don't know where this lie even came from.

That eating carrots would make your feet turn orange/ eating any green veggies would make my hands turn green. To this day... they complain about me not eating much veggies.
My mom would constantly nag onto me about playing on my gameboy too much as a child, saying how it would make my eyes melt away and leave me blind.

funny thing: carrots will actually turn you orange if you eat a lot of them. apparently it's because of this thing called 'beta-carotene'. i'd heard that steve jobs turned orange at some point.
being handsome and smart was one.
religion was another one for me personally.

One that I just remembered was that my parents once told me that when I was asleep or I was out somewhere my toys would have a party.

-sinks into deep depression- sad but true. i feel your pain.
he he he lol i remember this one i crapped myself once when i swallowed a a apple seed ( i think it was anyway... i was like 6) and asked what happens when you swallow seeds.... i got told it starts to grow inside me so i went straight to the bathroom and made myself sick... my parents asked "why'd you do that" ... gee i wonder!?.
that actually can happen you would have to eat a crap load of carrots etc but it can happen, not like a pure bright orange but just a faint tinge it's part of the reason falmigos are pink (NO not because they eat carrots, but becausr of something they eat which contains beta-Carotene)look it up.wonder waffle said:

They told me I'd never find a dinosaur, I found a rubber one yesterday on a wall hanging on a vine.
Seriously though, I was told I'd drop pokemon in a year.It's been 4 years so far and I don't think I'll leave it for a very long time.
