Joel & Lia oh I do! Love it
@@simonpowell2559 Some of us are, indeed, fat, and while a disproportionate number are poorly educated, I've found in my travels that stupid knows no borders.
Only one kid in school actually busted his head open leaning back and that's because he hit the desk behind himself on the way down.
In the US watermelon seeds would grow in your tummy. It became a euphemism for getting pregnant when we were older.
I was told if I went outside with wet hair I’d get a cold😂😂
My parents wont leave the house after they shower. All I can do is shake my head.
That wasn't true? I'm 39 oops
Wet hair attracts cold viruses. Everyone knows that! LOL
Swallowing watermelon seeds will cause you to to grow a watermelon
Michelle b I was told if I went to bed with wet hair I’d get a stiff neck.
We were told if we swallowed watermelon seeds, a watermelon would grow in our stomachs.
MacGuffin yassss omg I remember hysterically crying because I had eaten one and my mom told me this I was going out of my mind thinking my stomach was going to explode one day from a watermelon growing too big
Rugrats told us that
Four years old...Mom's belly starts to bulge...she said she swallowed a watermelon seed, and even after my brother was born, I believed that somehow the watermelon turned into a baby. My older sister didn't help. She said Mom swallowed a crabapple seed to get me.
an american lie my parents told me that if i rolled my eyes hard enough my eyes would get stuck in the back of your head
Grace Herbert yep or if you cross your eyes they’ll stay stuck cross eyed forever
Grace Herbert we had ‘if the wind changes you’ll get stuck like that’ when pulling strange facial expressions.
Same
@@madisonoctober I remember that one well. We believed it until about age 15.
Yeah I've heard that one lol
I was told I would go blind if I was too close to theTV.
Bob D - In the US, that was a myth perpetrated by a reading lamp manufacturer.
me too
Same!!! Lol
I was told I would go blind if I watched TV in the dark.
same
Did you have this in the UK - that it was illegal to remove the tag from a mattress? I was always scared as a kid that we would accidentally tear our mattress tag and somehow commit a felony!
That was a US federal law to keep mattress manufacturers from using used mattress stuffing from old mattresses and cushions.
@@robertcuminale1212 Interesting! I didn't know that
This was so fun! I remember being told that if you crossed your eyes they could stay that way forever! Hope you are well!
Dorothy Paul me too. My mother-in-law can’t stand to see kids cross their eyes. It’s her biggest pet peeve.
@@ClaireRader That's hilarious! Hope you are well. Stay safe!
Dorothy Paul or if you frowned and the wind would change and your face would stay that way!
I was told if I crossed my eyes and rolled them in circles then they would get stuck. I still won’t do it and I’m 21 lol
When I was little, my granny told me if I stick out my bottom lip, it will stay that way and a rooster will sit on it. She also told me that if you eat watermelon seeds they will grow inside you.
My little brother used to suck his thumb. My parents told him if he didn't stop it will turn black and rot off. When he was sleeping they colored his thumb with a Sharpie. He never sucked his thumb again.
In the US it's "You'll go blind if you watch too much TV".
Duane Wilcox or if you were too close
We didn't use fountain pens in American. In fact most teachers require you write in pencil until almost high school. Also, we did have eraseble pens, but they didn't stink. I think Papermate made the original ones.
For the tension we just were forced to do more school work. We were probably welcomed physical labor instead of more book work.
We had bleachers to sit in during assemblies in the basketball gym. In highschool we would sit in the auditorium. In elementary school we just sat on the floor in the multi-purpose room and watched the assembly up on stage.
The old school '80s papermate eraseables smelled a little funky, and wrote a bit gunky.
I remember the papermate eraseables pens they were fun as a kid but they didn't work that well. The smell wasn't too bad but was odd and the gunky skipping pen was not fun to deal with.
You just summed up my childhood
In the Stone Age 1970s, we used fountain pens in Shorthand class. Google that young people! LMAO! I'm old old! 😂😅🤣
You must be quite young. We were allowed to use fountain pens in second grade. For me this was 1950! We also had dip pens that were used with liquid ink too. I felt very grown up having my very own fountain pen! I grew up in NYC.
The chewing gum thing, was actually something that scientists believed in like the 1900s. But recent studies show it's not true.
Really?! I didn’t know that! My mom said it was cause it was a choking hazard and that kept kid from trying to swallow it! lol
Re: turning the light on inside a car is illegal: MY FATHER TOLD ME THE SAME THING!!! I'm 68 and I NEVER turn the light on if I am driving!!!
I forgot about that. My parents told me the same thing when I was younger. I'm 42 now.
Mine too!
It's not illegal but it is dangerous in a way because it makes it harder for the driver to see a long distance out in front of the car. Also it IS illegal to have all but the very back light on in a school bus. I know this because I am a bus driver. :)
mine too
My dad said that too!
One point in favor of Americans.. very few of us lie to British children.
😂
Isn't it 0 percent?
I have never lied to a British child. 🐣
The one where you're not supposed to go swimming after you've eaten is a crock
When I was little and in school and the teacher would be writing on the chalk board and the teacher would say she had eyes behind her head to make kids think she could see what they were doing. I believed it for a long time. Lol
Eyes in the back of my head. My mom said that, she always knew what we were doing, even if her back was turned.
My mom used to spit these sayings out like they were Medieval Curses. My favorite one was “If you fall off that branch and break your leg.....don’t come running to me crying!”. 😳
My mom would say "You'd better be careful riding that bike. If you get hurt you'll be wishing you had a mama that loved you"
It's interesting how some of these things are universal, or at least between the US and UK, like the chewing gum thing. I wonder how these things spread!
Especially in the days before the internet.
The light inside the car I guess it's just distracting and annoying for the driver and it's good not to turn it on while someone's driving
When you fry hotdogs on the stove top they produce a strange shrill squeaky sound so my mom told me that they were baby pig that were still alive and that they were squealing for their mama. I cried and refused to eat them 😢😂
That's horrid!
That's cruel😕
I suppose it does sound kinda bad but you have to understand my family has a dark sense of humor. Now that I look back I find it hysterical.
We had to wait an hour after eating before swimming... "You'll get cramps"
"You will go blind if you play with yourself".
Can I do it until I just need glasses?
LOL... When you have kids and they've asked "Why" for the hundredth time that day.. you'll understand where some of these come from.
When I was a kid we were always told, "if you watch too much TV you'll rot your brain!"
Teacher here...I work in a new, state-of-the-art school which has rocking chairs for Kindergarten through 3rd grade.
I remember the 7 years for chewing gun digestion. What BS that was.
I used to swallow chewing gum just to be a contrarian.
I still do and Im over 60!
And you didn't get a horrible case of chronic constipation?
😂 Weren’t our parents great? lol So nice to see your faces. 💕
Lia said “why are kids so annoying” and an ad came up immediately after for pampers, the irony is too much
I’m 66 years old and I swallowed gum for the first time in my life last month. I was about to give a talk and I couldn’t think of any other way out of it, but I was terrified.
Those pens are called fountain pens in the US as well
I’m in my eighth month
Next month I’m delivering a cherry tree
For the TV one, newer TVs use LEDs. So, they don't have the emissions that older CRT and plasma TVs had. We were told that our vision would go bad, which made sense for those TVs.
As for the face getting stuck, we were told that if we made a face at someone, and someone slapped you on your back, your face would get stuck like that. It was represented in the movie, "One Crazy Summer". Funny movie, by the way.
Thanks for always bringing smiles and joy to my day Joel and Lia!
Adventure on dear friends! Papa Phat :)
Square eyes! Wind changes direction........ Lmao Everything else we also heard growing up in Oklahoma.
So my parents were weird. I grew up in canada, with 3 years in Europe in grammar school. We travelled Europe a lot. My mom convinced me that, as we drove through the alps, the sheep and cattle had legs longer on one side than the other to make it easier to go up and down the mountains. And... my dad convinced my brother that the lamp hooks in the tower ruins of Heidelberg castle were used to hang captured enemies by the thumbs so their thumbs would fall off and they couldn’t fight anymore. My brother still believes that at 70 years old.
I was so angry about the Santa lie. My parents maintained the Santa lie for many years. What really angered me is that they would talk about it behind my back. I heard my Mom on the phone telling someone how stupid I was because “he’s 8 years old and still believe s in Santa.I swore I wouldn’t do that to my kids. I told them who Santa is but that the gift were from parents and other family members.
HoNeStLy i am 15 and my dad has only just told me that turning on the light in a car at night isnt illegal and i was SHOOK
My older clueless cousins (older as in they're like 48 years old.. I'm 37) still believe it's illegal to turn on the interior light while driving. They live in Pennsylvania & New Jersey. I laughed at them when they told me that. I'm from North Carolina & my dad always told me he couldn't see out the windshield very well when the light was on which is very true AND the real reason not to ride around with the light on.
I’m 51 and I always thought turning the interior light on in the car was against the law! I’ve learnt something new tonight! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amanda lewis uummm I’m 35 and I thought it was illegal. 😅
I was told the same thing as a child! 🤣
I'm sure some people tell their kids thinking it's true!
My dad had a thing about that and objects in the parcel shelf. It's not something that ever bothered me as a driver
Why did your parents not just tell you the truth.... turning the interior light in makes it harder for the driver to clearly see out while driving. I never heard people thinking it was illegal until moving to New Jersey where my 48 year old cousin actually believes that. I'm from North Carolina & my dad would just always tell me to turn it off, he couldn't see.
59 and I'll have to check w/the DMV because I've thought that all my life!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Weren't told square eyes....just that we'd go blind. 😂
I fell back in my chair quite a few times in my life. However, it wasn't possible in the schools I went to since the chairs were physically attached to the desk.
Just wanted to say, I recently became a new subscriber this week after being on a quarantine youtube binge. Anyway, where👏🏽have👏🏽you👏🏽been👏🏽all 👏🏽my👏🏽life. I am a Mexican American living in Arizona, and I’ve never felt so American after binge watching your videos. You guys are hilarious and I’m so happy to have found your channel! Your sense of humor reminds me of myself lol 😹
Same, I'm Hispanic and found Joel and Lia on UA-cam. They're funny and interesting so I had to subscribe.
In Arizona too!
I read that some guy in Russia accidentally inhaled a pea and it sprouted in his lung
Pea plant.
www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-10945050
Fir tree.
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1169861/Shocked-Russian-surgeons-open-man-thought-tumour--FIR-TREE-inside-lung.html
@@mplwy a medical show here in the U.S. (can't remember which one) had an episode that featured that exact medical phenomena.
mplwy .....that was a made up story. In truth, he had aspirated the piece of fir that size and didn’t remember it. It didn’t grow in his lung.
@@WyattRyeSway believable, but a link to back up that assertion would go a long way.
We were told we’d go blind sitting to close to the tv
The ultimate lie....The ice cream man playing his chimes to tell kids he'd ran out of ice cream 😆
Lorraine Quinn I was told that sometimes but I was too clever for evil parents 😊
Great video Legends. I think the older a person is the different falsehoods we were told. I don't really consider them lies. Television was new when I was a child and I was told that if I sat to close my eyes would go cross or that if I kept making faces it would freeze like that. Those are just a few that I can recall.
Also, remember that TV's and screens on phones are not the same now. The blue/red/green light guns have been replaced by plasma screens with small currents to construct the picture.
My question is, "Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?"
@Stephen Gresser who sang that song and do you know the lyrics? That's a very old tune!
It was sung first (I believe) by Lonnie Donegan in 1959 (before my time), but it was sung to me repeatedly by my Canadian mother - which is why I also wonder if when you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last? Pretty sure the version I heard played was by the Irish Rovers, never actually heard the Smarties commercial's version other than from Mom.
Thank you for making me laugh so much! Definitely a favorite. 😊 Tons of love from Jean ❤❤
Swallowed watermelon seeds explained a lotta baby bumps back when
As a child I was told that you had to wait 1/2 hour after eating to go swimming or you would cramps up.
My dad told me that when he was a kid he got sent out to look for a "left handed spanner (wrench in USA)" which of course does not exist.
One guy in school was told his socks were on the wrong foot. He changed them, but told me he that did rather than argue with the jocks
And shelf stretchers....and sky hooks - too funny!
I love these and heard all of them by my American parents. The one I remember the most was not the wind changing your face but if you made a mean face or a nasty face it could get stuck like that forever just like crossing your eyes or rolling them. The other one I was told is the only time your allowed to see Santa Claus is at the mall to take a picture. If you cause him on x-mas night he would take all your presents back or if you opened or told a sibling what they got you also lost your gifts. But maybe that was just my family. I love this because it makes me think what I would tell my kids. Will I tell them there's no Santa, Easter bunny and tooth fairy or let them think that there is. I was also told every time I went swimming to used the restroom before swimming for the fear of having the blue ring in the pool.
I wasn't a kid, but that tartan paint story reminded me of when a long ago boss told me to have his bunch of keys copied. They did all but one, and when I showed him the one they couldn't copy, he said, "That's because it's a roach clip".
That was the key to mellowness. My Mom had that key😂
I remember my grandma would say if I swallow chewing gum it would stick my insides together. I never knew what that meant exactly but it scared me enough that I never swallowed it.
My childhood was a lie! I just realized how much my parents lied to me! Thanks a lot, mom and dad!
Sooo true!!😂😂
And thanks a lot Rachael.
Wait. You UK youngsters used fountain pens in school? I'm 66 and in NYC we were beyond fountain pens even in the '60s. That said, our desks still had inkwell holes.
I used fountain pen at school in the 1990s in the UK.
In Virginia in the U.S. I was told by a Police Officer that when people drink too much they feel like they can see better to drive with the inside (dome) light on. If the Police see this they will pull you over instantly. So its not quite illegal it just takes a while to explain. As I remember it anyway. Be safe y'all.
Mrs Mimi H or if young people do it really late at night it’s the infamous “dope light” and pull you over for “ suspicion “ !
I swallowed a quarter when I was 7. I had to have it surgically removed. 😂 Be grateful all that chewing gum passed!!
True story: I read an article a few years back about a man in Russia who had surgery because a tree seed had gotten into his lung and sprouted there. You know how the seed has enough nutrients for the plant to grow for a bit before it needs sunlight to make food. The doctors suspected he accidentally inhaled it while hiking. They said if it had gone to the stomach, it would have died in the stomach acid. Stomach acid is what keeps any of the things you listed from growing inside us when we eat them.
A picture of Joel & Lia with perfectly square eyes needs to happen!
I needed this laugh so much. I love you guys.
I love y'all and love to hear y'all talk have always loved y'all's accent 😍 from Tennessee
Eyes turn square?! I wore glasses, so I was 'square eyes' anyway...my dad (God rest his soul) was an ophthalmologist, so getting too near to the TV caused cries of "Eyestrain!!!!"
Omg yes I heard about the chewing gum and I never chewed gum when I was young
When I was a kid, we had a teacher who would make us wear our gum on the end of our nose, to lunch!
There's no way you two are old enough to remember fountain pens. Those things haven't been used since ball-point pens were introduced, in the sixties.
I used fountain pen at school in the UK in the 1990s
It’s so hard to see at night, if someone turns the interior light on. Or.... maybe I’m just old🤷♀️😂
Seriously, this was fabulous! I laughed so hard! Well done guys!!!
I love teaching, but I do believe it is a calling.
I forgot the big one how carrots help you see in the dark
I’m a teacher and I would have to remind my first graders all the time. All 4 legs of the chair on the floor! I would threaten them they would crack open their head! A few have hit their head pretty hard but no blood!
Today's kids are way smarter than teachers today
When you get several years on down the road, and you get more farsighted, you'll understands why you hold your phone farther away. 😉
I am so old that at school we used pens with a nib and ink wells!
I live in the U.S. and I heard so many of these growing up😂
In primary school at the end of the day you used to put the chairs on the desks before going home. I used to think that was dangerous then because what if they fell on the cleaner's heads? The 'historical accident' was a little girl supposedly running back into the classroom because she'd forgotten something, but then ran into a chair which flipped upside down as she fell. She screamed, which meant when she landed on the chair, one of the legs went in her mouth and down her throat and killed her, so that's why we put the chairs on the table, so that doesn't happen. Freaked me out as a kid.
I've actually been pulled over because of the internal light being on at night. It was well before cell phones so things may have changed.
Even the cops are vulnerable to urban legends😂
A girl I knew in Jr. High told me she was constipated from swallowing gum, it was obvious she was in pain 😣😨
@@Judy_R the weather has been beautiful! It's a bit breezy today 😄💕 I feel blessed
Yikes 😳😳😳
Leo the short guy Right!? I never swallowed gum again 😫
@Lucy! do you remember when teachers made us swallow our gum?
LOL! Nope - gum passes through.
J&L, The chewing gum lie is so bad. The truth is your stomach acid will break gum down just like every other food. The problem with kids swallowing gum is that there is a possibility of choking (depending on the amount of gum). You guys had fun filming this one didn’t y’all? Be well, stay safe. MLLHR!
My Gran took my Aunt to the movies when she was a kid and noticed she was chewing a big wad of gum, she told my Gran someone left it under the seat for her!
EEEUUU! LOL
LOVE THIS!!!❤️🌷
I loved this video. Just here to speak on behalf of the parents who lie. It is so SO hard to deal with the stage of child-rearing where “No; I don’t want to right now and I am allowed to make choices for myself” is not an acceptable answer. ESPECIALLY when it lines up exactly with the stage where every subject has at least four questions and they’re so curious and they’re also EXPLODING with vocabulary. Also, they’re starting to understand kidding and not kidding too. WOW it’s a lot. Anyways, if they ask me if we’re teasing, we tell them yes, they laugh and we love on. If they believe it for a little bit, it won’t hurt them. Their question was validated with an answer and their hearts were satisfied.
Lmaooooooooo
Lia with the PAUSE AND PLAY!!! I did the exact same thing! Literally! I never thought anyone else did that too!!
And my parents told me the car light on while driving was illegal too!!! Lolol 🇺🇸
1. Go get me the left handed screwdriver.
2. Get me the 2x4 stretcher.
3. Would you go get me a bucket of steam?
4. I don't understand....
You cut it twice and it's still too short? How did that happen?
I was 12 when number 4 happened. I'm 47 now and my father still doesn't let me live that down! He has the memory of an elephant!!!
But I still gotta love him!
Can't say I didn't deserve that one. He got me good on that one!
I just saw your episode about eating a PB & J sandwiches. If you really want a good PB & J you have to use Peter Pan Peanut Butter (Creamy) and Welch's Grape Jelly. Also if y'all make it to Charleston SC it would be my pleasure to take you out for a good Southern Meal. R.M. Austin
I'm your 43rd Like. Just thought you'd want to know.
So, Joel you were regularly swallowing gum for years BEFORE you Googled it to discover it was a myth.
Hmmmm, so you were OK with the notion that gum was building up in your body??
To see up close, I take my glasses off. I have tri-focals but still see better with off (up close)
Ditto! Hahaha hahaha! Like someone else said, "getting old sucks!"
Joel is so cheeky; I love it! 😂#currentonlineteacher
"Square eyes"?! That's amazing. We were told, if we sat too close to the TV or watched too much, we would get leukaemia! (I grew up in the former Yugoslavia.)
*I live in America and these are the ones that are the same:*
1. Swallowing chewing gum
2. I think the swallowing seeds 🤔
3. The historical chair accident always had me dead whenever that happened to someone. That happened when I was in 7th grade to some kid in my social studies/history class 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
4. Square eyes aren't a thing in America and we called people with glasses "four eyes" (2 real eyes and 2 glass eyes)
5. The wind changing doesn't exist in America, I never heard of that one
6. If you turned the light on inside of a moving car was illegal isn't a thing in America, although my mom doesn't like the light on in the car because she can't see while driving but she never said it was illegal
I was in school in the 70s and 80s, I graduated HS in 1986. I remember most of these too, except we didn't use fountain pens. I once witnessed a boy when I was in grade school tip his chair, fall a crack his head open on the floor, never tipped back again after that. I heard you'd go blind if you sat too close to the TV, and televisions way back were large tall boxes with small round screens maybe the size of a plate. My father called it the boob tube! The wind one never heard, but if you make a face it would freeze that way. The light in the car was because at night the glare from the inside light could keep you from seeing an oncoming car, my mother always yelled if someone turned on the light! I taught Pre-K for 24 years!
George Carlin had some great lines about what parents tell their kids and some intelligent responses. "Don't you understand English!? ... No, not fully, "How many times do I have to tell you?! .. Five.
Apple seeds won't grow in your stomach. However, the seeds and pits of fruits in the rose family (e.g. apples, pears, peaches, cherries, etc.) contain minute amounts of arsenic. So, apple pie = good. Apple seed pie = goodbye if you eat enough of them.
Extending your arm to read the cell is because around age 40 most people develop presbyopia... “old sight”. The crystaline lens becomes less plyable with age. (fun fact)! 🤪
You’re old enough stop saying what kids do what they want. Timer grow up I’m afraid. And stop watching BuzzFeed
I'm from the US and I thought this was absolutely hilarious to watch and I was surprised at how many were similar or the same.
1. Pig's Wee eraser:
I have never heard of this one, but I think its really funny.
2. Chew gum lie:
As a kid, I was told this lie, but I never really swallowed my gum anyway. Not because I thought it would stay inside me for 7 years, but because I didn't like the feeling of swallowing gum. However, my brother would swallow his gum all the time, and still does today.
3. Don't swallow a seed or pit:
Where I live we were told that if we swallowed a black watermelon seed, we would have a giant watermelon grow inside of us.
4. The Historical chair accident:
This one isn't a lie. I have actually witnessed this myself. Thankfully, the student didn't crack his head open. He leaned back to far on the back legs of his chair and the chair slipped out from underneath him and he fell backward and smashed his head on the floor. Teachers at my school were very strict about this and if you continued to lean back on your chair after they told you not to, they would make you stand. I didn't witness this one myself, but a teacher told us that one time when she was teaching a class, a student leaned back on their chair too far, the chair slipped out from underneath him and he hit the back of his head on the desk behind him and he DID end up cracking his head open.
5. Square eyes from TV:
We were never told that we would have square eyes if we watched too much TV, but we were told that if we sat too close to the TV that we would ruin our vision.
6. The wind changing lie:
I have never heard of this one.
7. The inside car light lie:
I have heard of this one, but my parents never told us this.
We were told about the gum staying in your liver for 7 years if you swallow gum. I was told that sitting to close to the TV was going to cause blindness! It's so funny that we are told such silly things when we are kids, and I will be 50 years old in a few months, so it seems like the same things are told repeatedly over generations, and I live in Indianapolis, Indiana USA 🙂❤😷
Thanks for sharing! Lots of love to you both! Stay safe, thanks for making me laugh & of course smile!!!
On very rare occasions, large amounts of swallowed gum combined with constipation have blocked intestines in children. It's for this reason that frequent swallowing of chewing gum should be discouraged, especially in children.
I am 50 I wear glasses but I take them off to look at my phone. I can't hold it far away or I can't see it.
I was told i would need glasses if I watched TV too close
The wind thing is somewhat true, you can develop Bells Palsy from wind. I have seen patients develop Bells Palsy from riding a motorcycle. Usually its a underlying medical issue that you must have to have it happen but it could happen. I think before people know all the details of what causes some of these things they make up what causes it. Thats how old wives tales were born
I worked for a Newspaper and they would tell New People to go get the “PAPER STRETCHER” 😂😂😂
Even back in the 1970s we never used fountain pens.
We WERE required to use the cursive, which was meant for the fountain pen. Which by that time was obsolete
And my cursive could stop a moose at 40 paces
