10 Lies Your Parents Told You When You Were A Kid

Some of these lies are pretty dark for children.

1. If you eat “bezer” without peeling them, a tree will grow in your stomach.

2. If you swallow chewing gum, a tree will grow in your stomach.

3. If you bite your nails, a tree will grow in your stomach.

I sense a theme here…

4. If you swallow watermelon seeds, a watermelon will grow in your stomach.

Same, but different.

5. If you cross your eyes and someone surprises you, your eyes will stay crossed forever.

6. If you’re too loud in the bathroom, evil spirits/the devil will come out.

7. If you yawn without covering your mouth, the devil will enter your body.

Like we said, too dark for children.

8. If you stare at someone for too long, something terrible will happen to them.

9. If you misbehave, “Abou Kees” and “Em R3ayde” will get you.

They still scare us till this day.

10. If you drink coffee, you’ll grow a mustache.

What other lies can you remember?
