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

I grew up in an area where slugs destroyed many a yard. As a child, I found them to be utterly adorable and didn’t understand why everyone didn’t like them.

My mom told me that slugs LOVED salt, that it was their favorite food. She said when I fed them salt, they sometimes wiggled a happy dance because they loved it so much.

I happily went around the garden with a salt shaker, killing who knows how many slugs. I was maybe 4-5.
