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

I have no idea where I picked up this notion, but I never turn over the page of a calendar until the first day of the new month, or hang up a new calendar until the first day of a new year. I feel that if I turn the calendar on, say, the evening of the last day of the month, instead of waiting till the next morning, I'm somehow "tempting fate."

That is interesting and something I've never heard about. I'm usually late rather than early when changing months!

I'm not sure if this would fall under the title of "myth" or outright "lie".....

I remember being very young, and asking my mother about "the statue with no arms".
I asked why the statue had no arms, and my mother told me that the woman was a thief who had been caught stealing, and her arms were cut off as punishment.
My younger brother asked what her name was, and before mom could answer, I said "Greedy Greta".
my dad almost crashed the car, he was laughing so hard.
