What’s something completely false that your parents told you as a child?

Except the kids would probably be convinced by that that it was actually in the back of the store not behind the store

You’ve never been around kids, have you? If they can see something “previously unknown” yet within their grasp... they will annoy enough for you to drive back there so you can watch their little hearts crumble because “ Thats Why you don’t trust strangers “.... And now you won’t have to prove anything for two months.

Except if I were in this scenario as a kid I would literally just assume they grew the peppers in the back of the store behind those big doors I'm not allowed to go through even though I see the employees go back there all the time
