The fibs that parents tell their kids! (babies, girl, mother)

[geoff956]

Did your parents ever tell you things as a kid that turned out later to be fibs?
I knew someone who's father told him that when the the man in the ice cream van rang his bell it meant that he'd run out of ice cream!

Father Christmas, tooth fairy, God. The Easter Bunny was never treated as a real thing though like it is in the USA.

Whole load of old wives tales, like if you make a face and the wind changes then it will stick like that. Chewing gum sticks to your insides if you swallow it. Eating bread crusts makes you hair curly - not sure why, no one wanted curly hair.

My mother told me babies come out of a special trap door.

Also when a girl in our town was raped, my mother said it was even worse because it was by an old man which meant his body part would really hurt because it was harder than concrete.

If I ate my bread crusts, my hair would become curly. Really, I didn't want curly hair, so that didn't work!
