1. "You need to eat your bread crust. It has more nutrients than the rest of the bread."
A very creative ploy to stop me from wasting half the sandwich. I had this one so drilled into my head that it wasn't until high school that I really thought about it and realized it wasn't true. But without this lie I may never have realized that edges are where it's at.
2. If you pierce your belly button, it will make your period shorter.
This is about 87% of why I got my belly button pierced when I was 16. The other 13% was because people would never expect it. In my defense, one of my sisters' friends gave me a first-hand report of shortened periods. Plus, with those vomit-inducing cramps I got, I was a little desperate.
3. "Those scratches and bruises that you get that you don't remember how you got? It's Molly. She comes into your room in the middle of the night with a little knife..." Monica frightening me with tales about her American Girl Doll.
Here's what's not a lie: Dolls are creepy.
