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.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By frankw · Posted

      In terms of enthusiasm at this exact juncture it's a 5 only because regular season football is back and we are 0-0 and there is the development of some key young players that I am very interested in seeing in regular season action. That brief high will probably be knocked down to 1 by October though.

      I think the preseason performance has caused a "Meh" Cloud  to hover over the fan base.  I still have some interest and while I don't expect a lot of wins, I think there are other things I would like to see in terms of the team at least going in the right direction. On offense is Bryce the guy and is XL moving forward? Is the defense performing better with DB back Are the rookies and 2nd year players developing? That said, for me there is some intrigue but I don't think they will compete for a playoff spot.

      Well just a few years ago they went to the playoffs and won a playoff game with Daniel Jones at QB. And while the Giants have been up and down at best since their last Super Bowl they have shown to be a more competent organization. While the Panthers haven't so much as sniffed the playoffs in nearly a decade. Logic would dictate that the Giants strategy has a high probability to be at least modestly successful. The Panthers? Eh.
