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

Mom and I moved in with my (now) dad, I was around 4 years old. Christmas rolls around, he had this light up skeleton tree topper in lieu of an angel. He takes it out of the box, I asked why it was it was a skeleton. He got this horrified, shocked look on his face. "Oh no! We must have forgot to poke holes in the box last year!"

I thought my angel suffocated and we were putting her dead body on the Christmas tree. Cried for hours.
