Are those even really permanent? Because nothing else from school seemed to be (other than the psychological issues caused by emotional abuse and bladder problems/chronic dehydration headaches from not being allowed to go to the bathroom or drink water all day)
@@heartofthewild680 Technically, yes the school keeps them forever. A few years ago I had a company I interviewed with ask me to sign a release form for access to my school records. I asked them what they thought they were going to learn from 30 to 40 year old school records. They responded "Dont know, it is just required" So i signed it. Funny part was, they actually tried to pull the records. They contacted the school district that I lived in and got nothing back then asked me to explain why. I was homeschooled back when home schooling was just starting. Makes me wonder what they were looking for.
When I was a kid my aunt told me that swallowing a watermelon seed would make a watermelon grow inside... after I ate one. I remember being *so* scared and frantically asking my mother if it was true.
I honestly think this is why I hated Watermelon as a kid and would either meticulously pick out the seeds or not eat it. And later only eat the seedless ones. Looking back, it all makes sense, I had OCD. I believed them 🥴😂
When fixing boxed mac and cheese once for my kids, I told them that I put extra cheese in it, for years every time I fixed it they would ask for the "extra cheese". When my son got older he asked me for the extra cheese recipe, I told him the "secret ingredient", there is no extra cheese.... He told me his whole world fell apart and his childhood was nothing but lies.... a little dramatic, lmbo!!! but we both laugh about it every time we see a box of mac and cheese.
Jane Doe Nope, and my face isn't puckered up from that too sour juice either. I laugh and shake my head over these kids and their sour candy nowadays. I tell them I'm so old when I was a kid candy was sweet, not sour like a punishment.
Seriously, My Not-Southern Mama Told Me Every, Single Summer the Watermelon Seeds Would Grow Tiny Watermelon BABIES in My Belly if I Ate Them😋🍉👶🍉👶🍉👶😳!!!
My neighbor's mother (in her 50s-60s) actually warned me not to eat tomatoes because the seeds would grow in my stomach. I think she was a little offended when I laughed, so I gently explained that there was no way they could grow without soil and sunlight.
My mother wanted me to get the gap between my two front teeth filled. The dentist and her tried to shame me into getting it done but I refused. She said I'd never get a woman to marry me with that gap like that. Fast forward a few years and I met the woman of my dreams. After we dated a while, I met her dad. He has a gap between his two front teeth! We've been married for 23 years. I kind of think the gap may have helped.
So true y'all...I am a very short woman and one night I had to go to the store to pick something up for work. As I was driving back to work I was pulled over by a police officer who asked me for all my info. When he said "How can you see?" Me, without thinking said "Is this another short joke?" The officer just stood there for a minute and then starting giggling then laughing out loud. He said "You don't have your lights on, how can you see the street?" Then he just told me to turn them on and walked away...lol. Seriously, this is so true y'all. The skit of being pulled over for the interior lights reminded me of that.
My husband did have an accident. While I was sitting with him in the ER (and before he had pain meds) he said "Thank God I listened to my mom and have on clean underwear." The nurse lost it she was laughing so hard.
"You had watermelon without me?!" Oh, that would be me. 😂😂😂 I'm so thankful my parents never made up things like that; they would just launch into loooooong explanations. Just be aware that a cop really can pull you over and ask you some questions for having your interior light on, at least in some places. They won't arrest you just for that, but they may use it as an excuse for searching your car if you're in an area with particularly obnoxious police officers.
I've been a professional computer programmer for 30 years; my college degree required a math minor, and I've yet to need to balance an equation in any aspect of my life. It was all lies.
I heard other parents say it to their kids as I grew up, but my parents absolutely forbade any pouting, and none of us EVER threw a temper tantrum! Supposedly I tried to have one once when I was about 18 months old, after seeing an older cousin throw one (I had no idea what he was doing, of course), and Mom and Dad put an immediate end to it. I have no idea how---I do know they didn't spank me (I was born in the early 1950s, and spanking was very normal and common back then), but I learned that such behavior wasn't about to be tolerated!
@@jb6712, my grandad used to say it to me, I remember pouting very often and I NEVER threw a fit in his presence (I rarely threw a fit anyway, my parents DID spank us), so I don't remember why he was saying it, I just remember him saying it to me.
Thunderstorms were the angels bowling. My much older brother told me this so I wouldn't be so afraid. I miss him so much. Now, when it rhunders, I know he is bowling with them.
Renee Mulherin so sorry for your loss. 😭 I was told the same thing by my parents. Also, that the God and the angels are watering God’s garden when it rains
My mom told me that if I stuck my arm out the car window while we were driving, it’d fall off. I still struggle with putting my arm out the window when I’m driving.
With "road rage" being prevalent and out of control in the 21st century, it's probably best to keep one's arms inside the car, anyhow. Never know when someone standing at an intersection might just grab that arm sticking out and break it! **We have a LOT of "I'm homeless/jobless/hungry/need money" people who stand for hours at a time at the tops of the freeway offramps, and the police are constantly telling drivers not to interact with them because some of them do just want to hurt and rob people.
Thank God I never heard that (as a northerner). As a kid I lived outside while it poured....still do, even as an adult, if I can get away with it! But the darn "adulting" obligations can get in the way! (like looking presentable or whatever!) I love being in the rain....great for the skin too!
I never got this one either. My mom used to make us go outside. Me: But Mom, it's pouring down rain. Mom: I said go outside NOW! --When my friends came over, they thought this was a hoot because they weren't allowed to play in the rain.
In theory, this could happen, or at least that you'd get sick. Your body has to work overtime to heat you, so some of the energy is diverted from the immune system. - My theory. lol Although I did get pneumonia one time when I went outside after the flu and laid on a picnic blanket to get some sunlight...And the ground was cold. Pneumonia was the result.
Yes, to this day I don't drive with my interior lights on. My mama said it was illegal. And something about eating out of a can that was placed in the fridge. Apparently it leaked poison. 😂
The one about canned goods used to be true for certain foods. Acidic foods like tomato sauce can erode uncoated metal. Aluminum is one of those metals. Nowadays most aluminum has a coating applied to keep that from happening, but you should not use older pans or aluminum foil for any acidic food.

Still waiting for my intestines to explode from swallowing gum and my lips to turn blue from drinking coffee (they are a tad darker). I can't make sugar mountains in my ice tea anymore because she was right about me already being sweet enough.
That Permanent Record Part’s The 1 That Would Get me in Big Trouble🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are those even really permanent? Because nothing else from school seemed to be (other than the psychological issues caused by emotional abuse and bladder problems/chronic dehydration headaches from not being allowed to go to the bathroom or drink water all day)
@@heartofthewild680 Don’t Know,&,Bummer
@@heartofthewild680 Technically, yes the school keeps them forever. A few years ago I had a company I interviewed with ask me to sign a release form for access to my school records. I asked them what they thought they were going to learn from 30 to 40 year old school records. They responded "Dont know, it is just required" So i signed it. Funny part was, they actually tried to pull the records. They contacted the school district that I lived in and got nothing back then asked me to explain why. I was homeschooled back when home schooling was just starting. Makes me wonder what they were looking for.
They act like it’s some criminal record or something and no one will ever hire you when nobody gives a fuck lmao
@@heartofthewild680 imagine the problems the perpetually masked kids of today are going to have...
When I was a kid my aunt told me that swallowing a watermelon seed would make a watermelon grow inside... after I ate one. I remember being *so* scared and frantically asking my mother if it was true.
What about boys? Did mother tell them they would grow a watermelon?
They always told you AFTER!
I honestly think this is why I hated Watermelon as a kid and would either meticulously pick out the seeds or not eat it. And later only eat the seedless ones. Looking back, it all makes sense, I had OCD.
I believed them 🥴😂

@@SpenceStan888 hahahaha my kiddos papa JUST told them that this past weekend!! As they were poking at the campfire!
When fixing boxed mac and cheese once for my kids, I told them that I put extra cheese in it, for years every time I fixed it they would ask for the "extra cheese". When my son got older he asked me for the extra cheese recipe, I told him the "secret ingredient", there is no extra cheese....
He told me his whole world fell apart and his childhood was nothing but lies.... a little dramatic, lmbo!!! but we both laugh about it every time we see a box of mac and cheese.
Now you can buy cheese sauce in a jar if you really want extra that much.
@@MoogieB I did that too with juice. The first time they had full strength juice my kids came home with upset stomachs from it being too sweet.
@@MoogieB I remember having to put sugar in Donald Duck orange juice because it was too sour for me. Started getting Hi-C later and it was great.
Jane Doe Nope, and my face isn't puckered up from that too sour juice either. I laugh and shake my head over these kids and their sour candy nowadays. I tell them I'm so old when I was a kid candy was sweet, not sour like a punishment.
Gamer Mom x 10
I always put in extra cheese.
Seriously, My Not-Southern Mama Told Me Every, Single Summer the Watermelon Seeds Would Grow Tiny Watermelon BABIES in My Belly if I Ate Them😋🍉👶🍉👶🍉👶😳!!!
My grandpa always told me I'd grow watermelon out of my ears.
@@heidimarchant5438
LOL~Such a Grandpa Sayin'🍉🤓❣:)
I never thought that was true so I always ate the watermelon seeds. People thought I was crazy!
My neighbor's mother (in her 50s-60s) actually warned me not to eat tomatoes because the seeds would grow in my stomach. I think she was a little offended when I laughed, so I gently explained that there was no way they could grow without soil and sunlight.

Lol~That is so funny...Moms🍅🙄:)
Your face will freeze that way because I said so.

"Everything you learn at school will be useful one day"
My mother wanted me to get the gap between my two front teeth filled. The dentist and her tried to shame me into getting it done but I refused. She said I'd never get a woman to marry me with that gap like that.
Fast forward a few years and I met the woman of my dreams. After we dated a while, I met her dad. He has a gap between his two front teeth! We've been married for 23 years. I kind of think the gap may have helped.
I was once told that if I eat the seeds, a tree would grow inside my stomach.
How about if you pick up a frog and it pee’s on you, you will grow warts?
CirclePFarm 🤣🤣 I remember that one
I thought all you had to do was touch a frog
I thought it was toads? Frogs don't have warts, but we had these toads in the backyard, and I was absolutely terrified of getting warts from them >
That is trueee

Those are toads, not frogs
Are you saying it *isn't* illegal to drive with the interior lights on?!
Correct. Just discouraged because it can affect your night vision.
No it isn't. Also there is no specific laws preventing from being barefoot while driving (even on a motorcycle). Crazy but true.
I heard that someone believed that until she was 29!
So true y'all...I am a very short woman and one night I had to go to the store to pick something up for work. As I was driving back to work I was pulled over by a police officer who asked me for all my info. When he said "How can you see?" Me, without thinking said "Is this another short joke?" The officer just stood there for a minute and then starting giggling then laughing out loud. He said "You don't have your lights on, how can you see the street?" Then he just told me to turn them on and walked away...lol.
Seriously, this is so true y'all.
The skit of being pulled over for the interior lights reminded me of that.
If my parents lies were true, then I wouldn’t be alive right now
This might not apply to this but the one where your parents tell you to make sure you have clean underwear on in case of an accident 😆
My husband did have an accident. While I was sitting with him in the ER (and before he had pain meds) he said "Thank God I listened to my mom and have on clean underwear." The nurse lost it she was laughing so hard.
If I got into one, I'd either soil myself or there would be blossoms in my underwear.
@@lindadavidson2237 😄😆
@@eldergeek6077 oh my 😁
My mom was a nurse so yeah, nobody wants to see your dirty underwear.
"You had watermelon without me?!" Oh, that would be me. 😂😂😂 I'm so thankful my parents never made up things like that; they would just launch into loooooong explanations.
Just be aware that a cop really can pull you over and ask you some questions for having your interior light on, at least in some places. They won't arrest you just for that, but they may use it as an excuse for searching your car if you're in an area with particularly obnoxious police officers.
ErykaSoleil
Or ones that are just bored.
It does turn your car into a literal lighthouse and makes you look distracted
The cop should have also charged him with driving barefoot.
ErykaSoleil
Or officers wondering why you're a jerk driver?
Darrell Patton
That is not illegal most places. I used to be a police officer and I've always driven barefoot.

Every math teacher ever: "You're totally gonna use Algebra in real life."
I've been a professional computer programmer for 30 years; my college degree required a math minor, and I've yet to need to balance an equation in any aspect of my life. It was all lies.
Anyone else get "if you don't quit stickin' out that lip a rooster's gonna sit on it"? FYI: Never got my damn rooster!
I forgot about that one.
I heard other parents say it to their kids as I grew up, but my parents absolutely forbade any pouting, and none of us EVER threw a temper tantrum!
Supposedly I tried to have one once when I was about 18 months old, after seeing an older cousin throw one (I had no idea what he was doing, of course), and Mom and Dad put an immediate end to it. I have no idea how---I do know they didn't spank me (I was born in the early 1950s, and spanking was very normal and common back then), but I learned that such behavior wasn't about to be tolerated!
@@jb6712, my grandad used to say it to me, I remember pouting very often and I NEVER threw a fit in his presence (I rarely threw a fit anyway, my parents DID spank us), so I don't remember why he was saying it, I just remember him saying it to me.
There will be a sequel, because there's more!

wait not everyone in the US says these things? i didn’t know it was just a southern thing
Eery one of them was told to me and I'm in Oregon along with my whole family
The title is "if your parents' lies were true"...nothing about just southern parents
Crystal Ruiz The channel is called It’s a southern thing and it was at the end of the video
I don't think it's specifically a southern thing (even though that's the channel), it think it just fits into the type of skits they do.
Ikr, I heard stuff like that and I’m a Yankee
I remember being told when a parent was trying to pull out a splinter that if I leave it in there a treee would start to grow...
I thought for sure the police officer was going to ask if he was wearing clean underwear...
Lmao forgot the sticking your bottom lip out and a bird will poop on it one..... We tell that to my niece all the time
My mom would say an elephant would step on mine. 😏
My mom told me that if I stuck my arm out the car window while we were driving, it’d fall off. I still struggle with putting my arm out the window when I’m driving.

@@faithhowe7070 sorry Faith. one of my cousins kids head hit a mailbox and died. These horrible things do happen sorry to say.
With "road rage" being prevalent and out of control in the 21st century, it's probably best to keep one's arms inside the car, anyhow. Never know when someone standing at an intersection might just grab that arm sticking out and break it!
**We have a LOT of "I'm homeless/jobless/hungry/need money" people who stand for hours at a time at the tops of the freeway offramps, and the police are constantly telling drivers not to interact with them because some of them do just want to hurt and rob people.

And catching pneumonia if you go out in the rain
Thank God I never heard that (as a northerner). As a kid I lived outside while it poured....still do, even as an adult, if I can get away with it! But the darn "adulting" obligations can get in the way! (like looking presentable or whatever!) I love being in the rain....great for the skin too!
I never got this one either. My mom used to make us go outside. Me: But Mom, it's pouring down rain. Mom: I said go outside NOW! --When my friends came over, they thought this was a hoot because they weren't allowed to play in the rain.
In theory, this could happen, or at least that you'd get sick. Your body has to work overtime to heat you, so some of the energy is diverted from the immune system. - My theory. lol Although I did get pneumonia one time when I went outside after the flu and laid on a picnic blanket to get some sunlight...And the ground was cold. Pneumonia was the result.
@@walkingnarrow8574 it was the flu. Something left behind. N them most likely bacteria inhaled from the soil.

@@lillygardens1 LOL! Glad to hear that! I guess it just stuck with me all these years
The one about canned goods used to be true for certain foods. Acidic foods like tomato sauce can erode uncoated metal. Aluminum is one of those metals. Nowadays most aluminum has a coating applied to keep that from happening, but you should not use older pans or aluminum foil for any acidic food.
