If the ice cream van plays music it means there is no ice cream .. Seems my Mum wasn't the only evil person to think up this

My Mum told me she could see through walls and had eyes in the back of her head

Haha, my dad used to say that too.

He also claimed he slid up the bannister, which was why I never heard him creep up the stairs to see if we were in bed yet.

My Grandmother used to tell my Dad that if you swallowed chewing gum it'd wrap around your heart and kill you

My Mum told my sister that the music she could hear coming down the road, was not in fact the icecream van but the fish van :|.

Oh, a recent one, perhaps not strictly a lie, but good anyway.

My dad was in the market for a new motor, so rang me up asking advice. The conversation went something like this.

Me - "How about a Fiat?"
Dad - "I'm not gettng one of them, they're not safe."
Me - "How do you mean? this one's got about 50 airbags and 90 seatbelts"
Dad - "That as may be, but Italians make seatbelts out of pasta and fill their airbags with gravel."
Me - "I love you dad."

LOL

That beetroot juice trick sounds like something your should do before a medical exam.

If you swallow chewing gum, you'll die 'cos the gum gets tangled in you intestines.
Complete ******.

LOL! I got told that too, never had chewing gum for years after that. Then I noticed my mates always used to swallow it when teachers caught them chewing in class, I was like wtf

If you draw on your hands the ink from the pens will be absorbed into your bloodstream and poison you.

If you wear swimming goggles for too long they'll rip your eyeballs out when you try to take them off.

Both told to me by school teachers.

I don't remember ever being told that but I always thought that whenever someone tried to draw on my hand

This could cause a lot of flamage, but I'll stand by my point from my point of view

Being told that there is a god

My mam still insists on this, she hates it when I write on my hands.

"you will get square eyes looking at that for too long" i always get told this one when im on the computer too long

Same here, and my whole family says that to me

 

[SidewinderINC]

in my old house (and my current house actually) we have a steam/sauna shower thing, and when we had it in the old house, i was about 6 or 7, and i used to use the steam room with my dad..

i was told that if i had any ink on me when the steam opened up the pores on my skin (heres me expecting to see big holes forming) the ink would all run in and poison me!

There used to be a kids book in my local library about getting square eyes from too much TV
