“Calling all my fellow '90s kids, because we need to talk,” writes Morgan Flaherty today. “Let me take you back to a time of Beanie Babies, the Spice Girls, and when the only being you had to worry about keeping alive was your Tamagotchi. There was another aspect of growing up in the '90s that I simply cannot stop thinking about, though, and that's the bizarre lies adults would tell us to get us to stop doing something.” There’s totally still a part of me that doesn’t trust the overhead light in the backseat of my car. Because yes, my mom definitely told me that it was illegal to drive around in the dark with that light on. Was it true? Absolutely not! (It’s definitely annoying, though.) I bet you’ll recognize the other nine, too. Please enjoy, with the adult perspective of knowing yeah, sometimes you’ll tell your kids anything to get them to KNOCK IT OFF.
