Which little white lies were you told as a child which you know is tosh but lingered in your subconscious?
When I was little my dad told me that if I played with my belly button, the knot would come undone and my legs, arms and head would fall off.
Yes I know that can't happen (I think) but I still feel queasy when it comes to my belly button, just in case. |

That is both a little unkind and quite brilliant!
I remember the one about getting square eyes from watching too much TV - I wonder if there is a smartphone equivalent? |

As a kid I used to complain about the stamping sound I could hear through my pillow when I'd gone to bed (nothing sinister, just my ears picking up the bloodflow from the beating of my heart)
...so my Dad, in an attempt to shut me up and tell me to go to sleep, would say, "that's the big steps of a giant on the other side of the world coming to check if you're asleep and if you're still awake when he gets here, he'll squish you!!"
LIKE WHAT THE FUCK DAD!!!!!  |

My mum used to say there was a 'rat' in the loft..when she'd come back down with some sweets or something.
I later found out it was just a cardboard box she kept sweets and a few toys in.
At the age of about 4 though I thought there was a giant rat up there.
Don't why she called it that.

Slight variation in that if you unscrewed your belly button your bum would fall off! 🤣
Isn't it funny that there's slight variations on the same thing country wide, always wonder how the word spreads... |

"Eat your carrots they make you see better in the dark  "
There is some truth in that to be fair. Carrots contain beta carotene, which our body converts to vitamin A, which can help with good eye health  |

Never heard that one before)
But here are some I was told and they could be limited to Irish people.. not sure.
Looking at the moon, that’s Gods house,
If you cross your eyes and the wind changes, you will stay cross eyed forever,
If you find a hair comb with broken teeth, it belongs to a banshee..
If you step into a fairy ring, you will be cursed.

"The bogeyman will get you 🤷🏻♀️"
Oh my dad told us about the bogeyman too, if you slept with your hand or foot slightly out from under the quilt, the bogeyman would grab you and drag you under the bed and you'll never be seen again.
When I think back to my childhood my parents were dicks, I'm surprised I didn't grew up to be a quivering wreck lol |

The three second Rule,
If food / sandwich for example … hits the ground and you pick it up with in three seconds it’s then totally edible and no germs can attach themselves to it so it’s perfectly safe to eat!  |

There isn't any truth in it. It started as a British propaganda campaign during WWII as a subterfuge to hide the (then recent) invention of radar from the Germans.
It worked so well many Brits still believed it to be true decades later. |

Same as many above:
Eating carrots make you see in the dark
Eating the crusts makes your hair curly (ate them all, hair is still straight as a ruler)
Lying will give you a pimple on your tongue
Sitting too close to the TV gives you square eyes
If the wind changes, your face will stay like that
We don't lick other people

I was told that as well.
The problem was we had a 2 second dog! |

"Not my personal memory…
A friend of mine named Harry, was told of he didn’t stop misbehaving that he’d be… “brought to the Harry store and swapped out for a new Harry” 😄😄

Did he have ginger hair? |
