I was just thinking about all the crap that adults used to tell children. for instance, if my granny caught me picking a scab she would say, "Leave that alone or else it will turn into a pig's foot".

Or, while my granddad was cutting my hair, "Be sure to burn the clippings because if the rats get them and uses them to make a nest, you will have the headache for the rest of your life". (I was about 17 before I realised that this might not be true)

Stop playing with it or you'll go blind.

I still have my sight although I do now need glasses for reading.

Mum used to say if we swallowed bubble gum our bum would stick together . Nice.

I think there could be something in this one. We were told to stand by the road menders and smell the hot tar.

Sitting on the hot radiator pipes at school would give you piles.

I didn't even know what piles were.

Yes, but you wish you hadn't sat on those hot radiator pipes now...
