Things they told us as kids that turned out to be BS

Remember the big threat from the school:

THIS WILL GO ON YOUR PERMANENT RECORD AND HAUNT YOU THE REST OF YOUR LIFE


I still want to know - where is my permanent record kept?

Swallowing seeds, especially watermelon, makes you pregnant.

I have it over here in my closet, and were you ever naughty in grade 4

If you keep doing that you eyes will stay crossed

And my sister tried to convinced me that I was left on the doorstep by gypsies.

My great grandmother always told me that if I ate the crust part of bread that your hair would get curly.

Try it .... You'll like it.

How many times have you heard this when it pertained to either trying a new food, or kissing that particular relative that you didn't want to kiss. Or going out with someone you didn't want to go out with.....or sex???? O.k, scratch that last one, but you know what I'm talking about. (LMAO)

If you study hard, get good grades and stay out of trouble, you will do very well in the real world.

Which world exactly were they referring to?

[Willing and Unsure]

if you leave your tooth under the pillow the toothfairy will get it while you sleep

if you swallow a watermelon seed, watermelons will start to grow in your stomach

 

[rambling man]

i never believed "they" again after I first smoked pot

Maybe this was bs, but at least you got paid nicely for it.


Well, I did, I hope you did

[mars99]

I guess it's true but...

Hey, that one is true. I believed it and it worked!

I recently read a quote saying the world is run by C+ students. The more I look around, the truer it seems.

Glad it worked for you though, Cheyenne

I went to Catholic school, and the nuns told us some crazy stuff. I remember a nun once told us that if we got ink on our skin it would poison us. I think she said that to try and stop some of the boys from drawing tattoos on themselves. But as a result of this little warning, I developed a real fear of getting ink marks on my hands. I grew out of it, of course, but I still feel very uncomfortable if I happen to accidentally mark myself with a pen. I don't feel right until I wash it off.

Oh yeah, and then there was the nun who told us that we would go to hell if we let a Bible drop on the floor. (This nun also claimed to have healed a sick cat by laying her hands on it.) Needless to say, a few days later I did drop a Bible and almost got a friggin heart attack at the ripe old age of ten.

I'm no longer a practicing Catholic. Coincidence?
