They would tell me if I didn't behave La Llorona would come get me at night. My god, I was so scared as kid when they told me that and I couldn't go to sleep
Now I know that it was all a lie e_e They scared me with a Mexican folklore
Haha My parents pulled the jack in the beanstalk thing too. They said if we swallowed seeds from a fruit, a tree will grow inside you. I actually fell for it
On a trip to Mexico as a kid, we passed through some mountains on the road and my dad told me King Kong lived there. I believed him for the longest time

I once inquired why my dad kept smoking cigarettes when I was around 9.
He told me that if he didn't, the people from the hospital will come with their needles (I hate needles) and give him shots so he'll HAVE to smoke.
I was doubtful, but believed him for a while...

That the Easter Bunny was murdered by Scott (family friend of sorts) and his rabbit son is currently running the business in his place. ._. I grew up believing this.
Also, if I stayed in the bath too long, my fingers would turn to raisins (very scary when you look down and they ARE raison-ish).
I don't resent these lies, but there are other lies they told me believing they were facts that lead to some problems when I was kid...

They never really lied other then Santa Clause... but they never bothered with changing the wrapping paper so I don't think that was a lie either.
My parents were very honest. I remember in grade four I was watching the Simpsons and that episode where Edna and Principal Skinner were having an affair he admitted to being a virgin.
I knew what a virgin was but I wanted to see how my dad would react. So I asked him what a virgin was.
"SOMEONE WHO HASN'T HAD SEX!"
Ahahaha.... never asked any questions after that.

If I kept biting my pencils, I'd get lead poisoning and die.

Do grandparents count?
My Grandma used to tell me that if I swallow watermelon seeds, they'll grow in my tummy. I was 6 and bawled my eyes out.
The same Grandma told me that if I eat fish eyes, I'll have super awesome vision, and that I can see underwater. (I used to love eating the eyes of fried fish.)
My mom used to tell me that if I lie to much, my tongue will split, like a snake's tongue.
Or that if I keep making faces behind her back while getting scolded, it will stay like that forever.
My Aunt used to tell me that a Kapre lived in the tree in our backyard, and that when I've come of age, it will kidnap me T__T

I don't know about you, but if my mom told me that as a kid, I'd be encouraged to lie.

Come off it. Just the thought of that is enough to make one vomit.
What would compel you to try that in the first place anyway?!
Besides, everyone is different. Some people would react badly, some won't.
Coke and milk... Naah!

- If you eat while you're laying down, you'll turn into an alligator.
- Never eat the seeds in a guava, or a guava tree will grow inside you.
- If you sneeze once, that means someone's talking about you.
- Mothers know everything.
- " We'll take you to Disney World if you're good." (But then again we were always so poor, so I never really expected that to come to fruition.)

- If I swallow the seeds of a watermelon, the watermelon would grow inside my tummy.. I was seriously scared, but it didn't keep me from doing it anyways.
- If I touch the gills of fish, the gills will grow on my hands.. I believed this and now I have this fish gill phobia.. actually now I'm scared of fish in general. >_>
Also, when we were out hiking in the woods, my dad gave me some fruit which wasn't poisonous but still left a really awful feeling in your throat if you ate it. Well, I did. And then my dad told me I was going to die. Combined with the itchy throat I actually did believe him that time and bawled my eyes out until the itching stopped.. after like half an hour. My dad apologized for that and now I can laugh about it though.

- If you make an angry or overly silly face, it'll stick like that
- If you stay in the bath too long your fingers will turn to rasins
- If you stare at the computer screen too long you'll go blind
- If you don't share you'll grow multiple pairs of hands and turn into a mutant
- That parents are all knowing gods of wisdom and never age (They didn't tell me this, but I honestly believed this on a sub-conscious level until I was about 10. When it finally hit me my parents were human it was quite earth-shattering.)
Overall, I don't really resent them. I would tell the same lies to my kids.
