I totally understood you opening up an umbrella in the house was bad luck, but I didn't hear.

Don't open your umbrella inside or your mommy will die.

What?

Somebody said that's what they used to hear.

Oh, is that a step on a crack?

Bring your brother's back?

Yeah.

You're not supposed to open an umbrella inside.

It's bad luck, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah.

This is the ultimate guide to bizarre lies your mom told you.

If you look at the microwave while it's unusual, you'll go blind.

Or what do you care if somebody looks at what microwave for?

It's a mom just tired of their kids staring at the microwave?

Yeah, that's probably it, right, yeah.

Amy out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was told, if I don't stop crying, my head would fall off and laugh at me. Wow. That mom's a cruel bitch, yeah. Don't stop crying. We'll laugh at me. My head will fall off. Stop crying. Lives in Newfoundland. That means the kid's going to keep crying because they're worried about their head falling off. Mom said, you'll get spots like a rotting banana if you don't go outside. I'll get trash outside. I've heard this one more than once and it comes up more than once on this. If you play with fire, you pee the bed. Oh, I never heard that one.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, I did both. Oh, and I remember this one. You're not supposed to play in the rain puddles because it gives you polio. Oh, I never heard that way. Man, that's got to be an old one.

Yeah. It could be today, too. Right.. Right. Yeah. That'll make it come back.

Coming back, right.

If you, if you, oh, that doesn't make any sense, God. Well, none of them do because there's things your mom said. I know, but these are ones are, you know, I mean, I get the average ones, like, you know.

Oh, God.

Mom always reminded my sister and I that if we didn't wipe front to back, we wouldn't have friends.
