Lies My Parents Told Me

[ciphergoth]

meta asks for stories of lies your parents told you, here:

I thought this was an interesting question worth propogating!

My parent's weren't the sort to lie, but I've come to realise that a lot of the things my Dad told me that I took on faith were a bit misconcieved. He believed that a stitch from running was the result of ribs rubbing up against each other. It wasn't 'till years later that I got a stitch again and realised that it couldn't possibly be that and it felt much more like a muscle cramp...

Now it's your turn. Tell us about a bizarre or stupid lie your parents told you.

IANAD - I am not a dentist.
IANAV - I am not a vampire.
IANAVM,U - I am not a vampire molester, unfortunately.

They're much more mundane, I'm afraid. "A Doctor", "a vet", and "anything very much, unfortunately."
