What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?

    That if a racoon saw you swimming, it would swim out to you and sit on your head and drown you.

    My fully adult mother actually feared this was something that could happen to her children, and she warned us of this “danger” every summer when we were young.

      This is awfully specific, haha.

      If that were true I’d go swimming a lot more often!
