Bull Poo we were told as kids (and what we are still passing on)

Last night we were driving to dinner with the kids and one of the boys popped his knuckles.  That set off a stern lecture from my wife who basically believes that in a matter of days my 9 year old's hands will swell to three times their normal size and will cause him never-ending agony for the rest of his days (I may be exaggerating a little for clarity and effect).

 

This got me thinking about what other stuff we were told as children that are complete nonsense and yet at least to a certain extent we still tell our kids.  The ones off the top of my head are:

 

1.  Sitting too close to the TV screws up your eyes

2.  Going outside in the rain will make you catch a cold.

 

I am sure there are several more.  Wondering if anyone else cared to share.

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      King Tet talking to Jaycee already. McMillan, shortly after he was drafted, was asked which NFL cornerback he wants to "Moss" most. His answer was an intriguing one. "Well, since we're going to be going against each other in practice, it's Jaycee Horn,"              Jaycee Horn   @jayceehorn_10 · Follow Seatbelts go on all sizes let’s get it lil bra!! @TMAC96795                 Keep Purring Podcast (Ben)   @KeepPurringBen Great article by @KassidyGHill TMac vs Horn "With that in mind, when asked in one booth which NFL corner he was most looking to 'Moss,' McMillan quickly answered, "Well, since we're going to be going against each other in practice, it's Jaycee Horn."   https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/04/29/panthers-tetairoa-mcmillan-jaycee-horn-nfl-draft/83347503007/?taid=68111d1ca9319b00015aff6d&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is probably harder to justify taking plays off in a draft where you are drafted six picks after a freak of nature--How Hunter did it is beyond me--and in Colorado of all places!  WRs run sprint after sprint.  Arizona was playing from behind a lot and that means pass every play.  I get it.

      Draft Grades

      I'll give you the Etienne pick to make up for Brooks, but I think you're looking at the T-Mac/XL picks wrong. Taking T-Mac wasn't "covering" the mistake of the other picks, it was "fixing" the XL pick. We took XL there because we expected him to be our new #1, but it just seems clear after his rookie year that he's never going to be THAT type of guy, even if he improves significantly.  But he does seem like he has that high end #2 potential, and that's where the T-Mac pick makes it "fixing" the pick and not "covering" for a bad one. The T-Mac pick pushes all the other WR's down a peg in the pecking order, and in turn, that makes them all that much better as they'll now be going up against a DB one more peg down on their own pecking order. XL and Coker don't have have a 1/2 pairing potential, but they both could be at the very upper end of the 2's and 3's out there, it totally changes the equation for who they are for us.
