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.

      Yeah but jumping up in the draft to get a project #2/3 WR is just plain not smart. I am down on XL because the thought was that he could be a potential #1 WR and he has been anything but that so far. Also, the idea of him as a slot is even more upsetting because you pass on several more productive slot guys(McConkey being the most obvious) that were TREMENDOUSLY more NFL ready. I was not a fan of the XL move at the time and I am not a fan of the decision in short term hindsight either. He is just simply going to have to be a guy that proves it on the field to me. McMillian was my #1 WR in this draft and I was a pro-McMillian guy. However, he isn't gonna get treated with baby gloves either. We are in the era of rookie WR's putting up 1k+ yd seasons with regularity. He's going to(barring injury) have to be one of the top 2 or 3 WR's in this class in terms of production. And that's being very generous to him. He really needs to be THE guy from this class. It isn't like he is gonna have a lot of guys taking catches away from him.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      Thought this was an interesting moment of candor. See the 2:00 min mark. TD said he made the decision that he wanted T-Mac as our 1st round pick back in January. Dan chimed in and said he made the decision early as well (indicating the same time frame).
