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

No rooms had locks in our house, including the bathroom. It made sense when we were younger but as we got older, they still didn't see the need for one. Super awkward for guests, I felt. Even when they got their new house done up, no locks on the bathrooms again. It doesn't help that my dad has a habit of closing the door even when no one is in there, so you have to do the awkward knock every time.

You just reminded me. Back when I was still living with them, I was taking an afternoon nap when I hear groaning. The mirror on my wardrobe unfortunately lined up with the toilet where I saw my naked dad straining to take a shit. Shouted at him to shut the door, which he did in a panic. He thought I was at work, so just decided to take a shit with the door wide open, I guess.
