What Myths were we told when we were Children......

Been so long since i started a thread I had to work out how to do it....

Reading stories about Santa in the Polling thread, and a few other things I have read not connected to Christmas.....I got to thinking and wondering about the different "Myths" or "little white lies" we were told when we were children.

Most times they were told to us by our parents, to either keep us believing in something, or to make us feel better, or even to bluff us into being good...or they were stories that kids told us in the playground to scare us, intrigue us, or to simply exagerate something that needed a little more imagaination....

Please share yours, whether they are about Santa, the Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy, or about anything else that intrigued you as a child....oh, and of course, also ones that we ourselves have told our own children....


(Gee, I hope I am not repeating a subject that has all ready been discussed, please tell me if I am).......

how about the whole: "touching certain parts of your body caused blindness"?

 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

My personal favorite....don't pick it or it wont' get well!

If you cross your eyes their gonna stick that way!

Katie77:
This is one I thought of recently.....

If your eyes dont close when you sneeze.....your eyeballs will fly out of their sockets....


Apparently thats why your eyes always close automatically when you sneeze...

Katie77:
Oh this is one I remember, from sex education classes in the school playground.....


If a woman does NOT have an orgasm during sex.....she cannot fall pregnant....



(i realize now, it should be the other way around)
