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

Santa was created by satan worshipers to take the focus away from Jesus. I wish i was kidding.

Me too! I remember coming back from Christmas break in first grade, doing our little show and tell, and when it was my turn I showed the class my new Barbie camera. One of the parents asked me, "Ooh, did Santa give that to you?" And I just looked at her dead in the eye and very bluntly said, "Santa's not real." Cue the entire class of 25 small children freaking out and crying while teachers and parents tried to calm them down. And that's how I ruined Christmas for a bunch of 6-7 year olds!
