Sometimes I was lied to as a kid. we all were. I think it was a shared experience. perchance you will find this relatable. Lies are bad, but some of these I think were good in a way since it was to better me. I hope you like the video.
Thank you for watching.

i still believe all of these and will not be told otherwise
-
That guy parkouring on long car trips was a lifesaver, man was risking his life for my entertainment. Respect
-
Once, my grandma told me that if I stared at the sun that I wouldn't physically be able to eat popcorn
-
The car light one I have improved for my younger brother/cousins. "The light disrupts my vision. If you don't want us to crash, I need it off." 😂
-
I remember the 'watermelon seeds grow in your stomach' lie that almost EVERYONE has been told😭
-
2:53 as a german person. The boy with the pie is quite uncommon here, but what almost everyone knows is that if you suck your thumb a guy with giant scissors will come and cut them off. If you don't eat your soup, you'll starve to death and if you play with matches your clothes will catch fire and you'll burn to death. Sigh those childhood memories ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
-
I was also told the famous "if you touch a baby bird its mom will abandon it" lie- another one that I think is beneficial tbh. Kids shouldn't be grabbing baby birds. I was also told that the brown spots on leaves came from people touching them, because the oil on your fingers would hurt the plant. A pretty complex lie to tell a 7 year old, but it kept me from manhandling plants.

Forever scarred by the discovery that the crust isnt the the "healthy part" of bread. It's just more bread 😭😭😭
-
Nothing makes me happier than knowing everybody else saw the little guy running outside the car as a kid too.
-
To be fair, a lot of parents actually believed some of the lies they would tell their kids, because they were told by their parents/friends/family when they were younger and they didn't have the internet to correct it. Like "if you keep making that face it'll stick" and "cracking knuckles causes arthritis" for example are both things my mom told me and also genuinely believed herself
-
This brought back the memory of one of my parents telling me that if you fill the bathtub too much, it'll fall through the floor (lol it was actually just to save water), so my childhood baths were always sadly shallow. But when I confronted them years later, they both denied telling me that.
-
My dad has been cracking his knuckles for almost 40 years at this point, so when I started doing it and heard the “oh, it’ll give you arthritis!” thing, my little 10-year-old brain was like “… waaaaaaiiiiiittt a minute…”
-
The life savers candy myth - having choked on one as a kid, the hole DOES let air pass through but yeah...still not something that makes you go "oh, it's 'safe' if it gets stuck"
-
Guys, don’t eat cookies before dinner time. My cousin did that and his appetite was spoiled. Bat wings sprouted from his head and then he flew into the sun and exploded.
-
The “if you swallow gum it’ll take seven years to digest” was one I heard a lot as a kid 😭
-
The cracking knuckles thing is so real, I was told so often that it would make my fingers all bulky and thin if I kept doing that, like mess up my hands later on or something
-
I’ll never understand the constant need for parents to tell their children the most OUTRAGEOUSLY UNTRUE non truths (they told me teeth were “not optional”)
-
I used to work in an art museum where I led school tours and when the kids would get too unruly while we took the elevator to the upstairs galleries I would tell them that the elevator only worked if everyone inside it stayed completely silent. That lie had a solid 90% success rate with kids under 11

As somebody who nearly choked to death on a Lifesaver as a kid, I knew damn well that one was a lie
