ON CHFM RADIO TODAY: Lies grown-ups told you when you were young.

1. Don’t swallow watermelon seeds or you’ll grow watermelon in your tummy!
2. Don’t swallow your gum or your bum will get stuck and you won’t be able to poop anymore!
3. (A child was afraid of clowns and a parent didn’t want to get him ice cream from the ice cream truck.) The ice cream truck is coming and it’s driven by a clown! (Child hid in the closet and saved the parent how much?)
4. From my own childhood when the adults around me didn’t want me to eat fish/meat without rice: Don’t eat that without rice or you’ll grow worms in your tummy! (Geez! How scared did I really get?)
5. Another one of mine: Don’t go out by yourself or the … will get you! (Half-true actually, as there were kidnappers in the city.)
6. Last one of mine: Don’t bite your nails (or clip your nails and keep your slippers on) or you’ll grow worms in your tummy! (Half-true?)
7. (What lies did grown-ups tell you when you were young?)
