lies I believed as a kid

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.

That guy parkouring on long car trips was a lifesaver, man was risking his life for my entertainment. Respect

[TrustMeBroOfficial]

i still believe all of these and will not be told otherwise

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)

My mom told us that knuckle cracking reminded her of turkey bones dislocating. Her dad had a turkey farm. so it was more " Please stop traumatizing your mother"

[DUZTY]

I remember the 'watermelon seeds grow in your stomach' lie that almost EVERYONE has been told😭

[seekerhunts]

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"

Nothing makes me happier than knowing everybody else saw the little guy running outside the car as a kid too.

1:00 My screen froze here, lol. I thought he was just standing there for an entire minute before I realized.

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

[guyguy]

I distinctly remember being told that if i sing out of tune or in a goofy way on purpose that it would cause me to go mute. My mother continues to deny that she ever said such a thing.

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." 😂

[Raijuri]

As an older brother of 3, and as someone who often sat in the back of the van, let me tell you that back then people driving behind you or being on a highway/intermittently lit street was a godsend for needing a light to play my Gameboy.

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

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.

0:27 "And BAHDEYH! go over there :)" "don't worry, its safe!" (le epic running like the flash) (le slap) "why would you do that??-" "Ĭ̷̠͔̠̞̜̼̳̘̠͋̃

My grandfather had a super sarcastic and dry sense of humor and he once told me that if I put my head into the dryer while taking my clothes out of it that it would explode and for YEARS I would try my best to reach the clothes at the back of the dryer without leaning in so that my head wouldn't explode

“If you look at the law” will now be my favorite thing to say at random times in conversation.

[JesseJokes]

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”)

[emman]

Once, my grandma told me that if I stared at the sun that I wouldn't physically be able to eat popcorn

[dicelol]

“bat wings will come out their eyes” honestly that’s not far off from “a tree grows in your stomach”
