What did your parent (or any adult) tell you growing up that you later learned is total BS?

As little kids, most of us believe what our parents (or most adults) say.
Well, it turns out being an adult doesn’t necessarily make you a wizard with all the answers. Who knew?! In fact, sometimes what they saying is complete and utter BS.
One of my childhood friend's mom told us that we'd get pregnant if we sat too close to the TV. What?!! That's not even a bit funny. I was pretty worried about this as a tween.
What did your parent (or any adult) tell you growing up that you later learned is total BS?
I remembers someone's grandpa told my friend and I that hot drinks cool you down? Like a hot cup of tea after a jog is just what you need? I believed it up until college.
A friend of our mother told us that if we crossed our eyes to make a funny face our eyes would stay that way forever. Our Swedish Grandmother Johnson told me if I stood on my head I could die! Imagine saying that to a kid.
