Lies Our Parents Told Us

I was a very gullible.  I recall a lie that was told by an older girl on my baseball team.  She told me that if I chewed gum that it would remain in my stomach for 25 years.  

My science teacher still tells that same!   He catches at least five kids every day and they always try to swallow their gum.  I still don't know how long it takes to digest gum.

 

When I was little I would also show off to my dad about how I could cross my eyes.   He told me that if I crossed my eyes long enough, they would remain that way forever.  I am still scared to cross my eyes too long.

 

When I was four years old, I stayed at a daycare.  One halloween I was carving pumpkins and I was told that if I ate the seed that a pumpkin would grow in my stomach.  I was quite afraid of that!!
