When I was a kid, the adults often told me that if a dog bit me, I would’ve to get 40 injections in my belly, supposedly to avoid rabies. Now I understand perfectly well that this was just a horror story for kids of that time, but back then, I developed a full-blown phobia of dogs, which I managed to completely get rid of only in my thirties.
As it turns out, adults often say things to children, seriously or jokingly, which then have a significant impact on them, one way or another shaping their outlook on life. So today's selection of stories, made for you by Bored Panda, is dedicated to exactly these supposedly “harmless” lies ever heard from adults.

ONE DAY i walked home drunk from a friends house, and apparently couldn't manage to unlock the door to the house, and started puking and passed out on the porch.
for years she told me she found me on the porch with a birthday cake on my lap.
later in life she told me she made that last part up, but for years i didn't go to a couple stores that were on the route home cause i was scared i'd stolen a cake.
