white lies my parents told me

I was talking to my sister yesterday, and we got to talking about the things our parents used to tell us to get us out of their hair. I remembered one was that if you put salt on a bird's tailfeathers, it wouldn't be able to fly anymore. So, gullible kids that we were, we actually spent all day trying to put salt on a bird's tailfeathers lmao

technically my brother and sister told me this lie, but my parents supported them bc i was being annoying. ^^;;

back then, whenever i would whistle at night, my brother told me a really buff fairy named wendy would sneak into my room while i was sleeping and punch me in the mouth and steal my broken teeth. it was to try and stop me from bothering the neighbors with all the noise, but tbh i didn't really care at the time.

Comment posted! Thank you for your patience.

my sister told me if i ate the black seed of watermelon
i'd flat out die.

apparently my mom's brother also told her this lie when she was a kid.

@scarabee: omg, that's so scary! I don't think I was ever told something of that caliber lmao
@Priestess of Pie: I wonder where it originates from? It seems pretty random!
@MoodyB: Dang! I've heard the one where a watermelon grows in your stomach, but never flat out dying! lmao

@rosehip:I looked it up but even wikipedia doesn't know the exact origins. Just that it came out of Europe. It seems very old and something often told to children because kids are dumb, lol.
