<p>if someone offers you a ride, don't take it!</p>
<p>(and did they ever explain why? i thought they would offer you a ride and then murder you or something =/)</p>
<p>haha yeah my parents told me that. i don't remember if they told me why. i was really shy, so i basically never talked to strangers or anything like that. so they didn't worry too much.</p>
<p>oh, also, my parents taught me to only trust women, haha. they told me if i ever got lost or something, to find a woman, preferably one with kids, to ask for help. did anyone else's parents do that?</p>
<p>yes, they did. they also told me not to make ugly faces or my face would get stuck like that. since i was afraid of tornadoes for some reason, if i was being annoying and didn't want to go to sleep, they would just say that a tornado was supposed to come through pretty soon and i would go hide in my bed.</p>
<p>Yes. It's dumb, though. If you don't talk to strangers, how do they become friends?</p>
<p>They should've phrased it like "be wary of people who show a suspicious interest in you." Hell, that would've saved me from a lot of drama if they'd told me that.</p>
<p>my parents told me never to trust someone who wasnt chinese or japanese</p>
<p>my parents told me if i chewed on upopped popcorn kernels i would get dumber. and that i would die if i rode my bike on grass.</p>
<p>^ lol at the bike on grass thing.</p>
<p>my aunt told me if i kept biting my nails, they'd turn into worms in my stomach.
my mom told me if i didn't brush my teeth, the rats would eat them.</p>
<p>haha, i love my family.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, my mom told me that if I didn't shampoo my hair that I'd get hair lice.</p>
<p>no, it's really for non-hygienic reasons.</p>
<p>My mom told me not to play with guns, but I shot this guy in Nevada anyway.</p>
<p>My mum told me that if I ate watermelon/grape seeds, a watermelon or grapes would grow in my stomach.</p>
<p>My great grandfather said that if you ate dinner with your hat on, the food would all go up to the top of your head rather than down into your stomach.</p>
<p>@glass_eyes</p>
<p>same here with the seeds.
i remember once my elder cousin told me that potatoes were actually snail shells and he said that snails pooped in their shells so if i ate potatoes i would be eatin snail poop!</p>
<p>my granddad told me if i drank water standing up it would go straight to my feet</p>
<p>Yeah my parents told me that too, strangers want to kill me apparently...</p>

I'm glad you eventually saw past your mother's irrational musings.</p>

<p>If I didn't eat my chicken/beef then the chicken/cow would have to come live in my room.</p>
<p>Not to swallow my gum because it would stay in my tummy forever.</p>
<p>If I fell off my bike and got a scab then they wouldn't let me into school (she was super protective of me and didn't want me to ride a bike or anything dangerous).</p>
<p>That I was a princess.</p>
<p>The monsters only come out from under my bed if it's past 9:30pm and I'm awake.</p>
