FabSwingers.com forum: What lies/myths were you told as a child?

Bread crusts make your hair curly?

Swallowing an apple seed will make a tree grow in your stomach?

Or more original ones?

For example I was told when really little that the pith around citrus fruits was fish (I've always hated fish). To this day I can't eat a satsuma without painstakingly peeling off every bit of pith.

I was also told that putting my fingers in a bowling ball right as it comes up the rack would cut my fingers off

My siblings liked to mess with me...

Sitting on a wall will give you piles.

Wish for something hard enough and it will happen

My dad once told me that CID stood for ‘coppers in disguise’, which I guess would have been fine if coincidentally it hadn’t come up as a question in school not long afterwards and I blurted out to the whole class

Another one “If you keep touching it it’ll fall off”.

Well I kept touching it and it’s still very much attached.

Another lie.
