I was told that if you fiddle with your belly button you will undo the knot, and your arms, legs and head will fall off. My belly button being touched makes me feel queasy now, so thanks for the trauma parents of mine

That putting salt on your food makes it go colder quicker..my sister (in her defence is autistic) who is 54 still does it and her salt intake is through the roof

And weather planes, you know the planes that leave a long trail, mum also told me this one, never questioned what they were doing with the weather.

Same as some of the above:

Crusts make your hair curly (nope, still dead straight)

Carrots help you see in the dark (also nope)

Square eyes watching TV too much/too close (another nope)

Face will stay like that if the wind changes (oh bugger...!)

But the best lie... just tell the bullies:

"Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"

How wrong can you get?!

After being told the same thing for many years, the shit they told me is now a core belief which I just can't let go of. Nice one

After being unable to eat a very well-done (i.e. burnt) roast beef dinner I remember my dad saying:

"The day will come boy when you'll wish you'd eaten that".

Well, it's been 30-odd years and that day still hasn't come.
