Back in the day when I used to babysit my younger brother, I told him that if he got out of bed during the night, crabs would crawl out from under the bed and bite him. Dreadfully sorry that, to this day, he is still afraid and crawls into fetal position when he sleeps to avoid said crabs. 😢

That if you take a shower while it’s storming you’ll be electrocuted. But I feel like you really can be

Do we really have to wait an hour after eating to go in the pool? That one, I legitimately don't know if it's real or not. 

Oh definitely the car light one. Why did our parents' generation perpetuate that lie?? Did they think we'd all leave car lights on constantly? 

My used to tell me if I didnt brush my teeth before bed bugs would come in the night and poop in my mouth

OK as someone who recently just had to get their car JUMPED bc they left the car light on (for like... days but whatever), I don't think our parents were wrong about that one. 

I'm going to say that swallowed gum would remain in your stomach for 7 years. That freaked me out so much bc when I was told it, I had already swallowed so much gum in my lifetime. On days that I feel particularly bloated, I always wonder if its the gum coming back to haunt me.

When I was a kid, my brother once told me that our remote control would explode if I put the batteries in the wrong way (i.e. the + in the opposite way). 

I’m pretty sure I believed this until… college? 

What lie did you believe until way too late in life? That you’d get arrested if you turned the car light on? (That’s another one for me!)

What childhood lie did you believe for way too long?
