Lies Our Parents Told Us

When I was little, about four or five years old, I was going around the house one day imitating the braying of a donkey.  In those days, mothers stayed home with their children instead of leaving them with strangers all day.  After a while, she told me to stop making the noise, but I continued braying.  Finally she said, "If you keep making that noise, your ears are going to grow long like a donkey's."  I stopped immediately. Later in my childhood, my mother used this lie when I wanted to go to bed with my socks on.  "If you sleep with your socks on, your ears will grow long like a donkey's."  Off came the socks.
