I believed the square eyes one. I used to check my eyes in the mirror after watching TV.
And the wind changing one, I'd pull a funny face outside, then change where I was standing so the wind changed.
Probably the reason behind my ugly face now, but it didn't do anything at the time =P

Does anyone look at the date of posts anymore?
Okay fine, Zeeky?
I give you the post I just made earlier today in this thread addressing exactly the same point.

Not something I was told, but a lie I told my brother a few years ago: The reason mars was at its closest that year was because it was on a collision course with us. ^__^
Althouggh, my teacher used to ignore my complaining about the assholes in school, and berate me[i/] for teling her. She used to tell me that no-one likes a tattle tale. As a result, I had to just ignore the pricks when they used emotional taunts. In fact, the only time they ever helped me out was when someone got physical. It actually took my head being beaten against the wall by aanother student to get them to listen. I try not to tell peope my problems now, I just deal with them.

"i have a golden lightsaber at home."

"i have real pokeballs at home"
"in china they have over 2000 pokemons"

The last time people were convinced the world was going to end, a girl my sister knows stayed home with her family because 'If they were going to die, they wanted to die together.'Unmannedperson said:

It depends on what you lie about. If something is too hard to explain, but the child shouldn't do it for a reason, then you can turn it into some sort of metaphorical fairytale, then tell them the truth once they're old enough for it to make sense.nmmoore13 said:

Now, I'm not sure which is worse, the lie or the truth..Prefer not to think about it.><
"When you swallow gun, it stays in you for 1-10 years."
A classic. One of the most common lies parents use right to their kids' faces. I have already busted that one, unless that gum was from a few years prior to being removed.
Okay, we know Santa/Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy are all fake, but why do people have to bring God into it?
"You're special."
Ya, me and every other American child.
"Stop that, you'll go blind."
*Insert sarcastic joke here*
"Junk food makes you fat."
No, junk food makes YOU fat. Junk food makes me hyper so I burn more calories. It's called youth, use it when you have it.
"Too much TV is bad for you."
Too much Media trying to scare parents to get more views is bad for you.
"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything."
So apparently, changing my mind is bad. Okay, if I never make a terrible decision, I'll just stick with it and pretend it's a good choice. It worked okay in Viet Nam, right?
"You are what you eat."
Then how come humans don't taste good?
"Don't drink that!"
Please, I likely have an immunity by now.
"Weed is bad because it's against the law."
Must, blindly, obey, every, law, no matter, if it, actually, is pointless.

religion = personal belief. You can't be told your wrong by someone who doesn't have the same faith you do. (fixed major mindfart)
ANYWAY, I was told a flattened penny brings good luck. It brought me a beating for playing near the train tracks.

That if I misbehave, a gypsy will come, stuff me into a sack and sell me to someone else.
