Things you were told when you young..

Or in other words..lies grown ups would tell you to make you do things you didn’t want to do.


  • Carrots will make you see in the dark – if carrots made you see in the dark everyone would eat them, there would be no need for street lights.


  • If you swallow chewing gum it will stick to your heart or if you swallow chewing gum it will take seven years to digest. I actually believe in this lie, I think these lies were told to stop children from trying to swallow their gum and choke. Children simply must not know the dangers of choking so telling them it will stick to your heart and die, I am sure it registers better.

  • Eating your crusts will make your hair go curly – I actually believed this at one time.


  • A stoke brings a baby – I think this is reasonable.


  • Don’t pull a face, the wind will blow and you’ll stay like that – did adults not like you having fun as a child? Waahh..please face go back to normal.



  • Santa Clause, the Tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny – don’t get me started!

Lol..I remember the one about not pulling faces or your face will be like that forever..I used to believe that one.
As a kid I always knew that Santa Claus didn't exist, I guess it's a cultural thing, everyone in Nigeria knew he wasn't real, just a fat bearded white guy with a large sack
