Lies Your Mother (and/or Father) Told You ...
You know what I mean ... family or folk stories that your parents told you with perfectly straight faces to explain something to you or to keep you from engaging in some sort of bad behavior. We'll take Santa and the Easter Bunny as givens, and in fact they've been discussed else where.
I mean stuff like this: Thunder results from God and the Angels having bowling league night in Heaven. Potatoes will grow in (or behind) your ears if you don't clean them. If you swallow a watermelon seed it will grow inside your stomach. You know, that sort of thing. Got any good ones?
