Terrifically Absurd Lies People Believed As Kids

Kids are being told that "the soda that dad drinks" is a magic elixir that makes you have to pay taxes. Today, someone's younger brother probably "learned" that reading gives you super powers. And what's it all for? Convenience? The most reasonable explanation is that lying to your kids is easy to do and pretty funny.
