Did anyone's parents threaten them w/the ever-invisible "Boogie man" or "Sand man" if you didn't get to sleep at night? LOL How about, "A mouse will get you if you don't get out of there" or "A big dog could come if you don't get home by dark"? I was afraid of the dark til I was in my 20's. LOL I've never used any of those on my son but my mom tried the "mouse" trick on my son once when he was about 3-4 yrs. old. When she said it to him, he responded with, "My mom says there's no mouses in our house", so it didn't work. LOL

Cuz I know of very few kids that would eat the crust. I guess I should've eaten more cuz mine's straight as a pin! LOL
I was also told that I'd get worms if I chewed on my hair or fingernails. LOL I didn't actually chew on my hair but had a habit of running it thru my mouth cuz I liked the soft feel of it. Still bite my fingernails on occasion but have never had worms! LOL
Was also told I'd catch a cold/sore throat if I went outside w/wet hair in winter or didn't wear a cap. I hated wearing winter caps cuz they totally mangled my hair, flat & flyaway, which has always been fine anyway. LOL
Remember back when Ralston Purina made Chex? I used to eat that & Cheerios right out of the box as a snack. My dad used to say, "Can't you eat cereal in a bowl w/milk like normal people"? I think he ratted me out cuz it wasn't long after that that the commercial come out about, "Don't eat Chex w/out the milk". LOL

My maternal grandmother used to say, "if you can't say anything nice about anyone, come sit next to me." As a child, I didn't get it, but now I think it is so funny!

Thanks for looking!

lived in the mountains of Arkansas and all the kids thought it would be cool to sneak out. Well we found out what they were planning and told them that they needed to listen for the kid eaters scream that night. We told them it came from out of the caves of the mountains and loved kids without parents around.


I know it sounds cruel but kept them from sneaking out
LOL

If I remember right, I believe I was told I'd get worms if I swallowed my gum too. LOL
Now that I reflect back, I think my parents had a worm-a-phobia, despite my dad being an avid fisherman. LOL
