What are some things that your parents told you as a kid to scare you?

"you're going to fail out of school and work in food service the rest of your life"

 

[Altaria]

"you'll never get anywhere in your life by striving to become a memelord"

"if you kiss girls your braces would get stuck"

It was meant to encourage me, but telling me my hair will go curly if I eat bread crust actually put me off instead.

I love that episode.

My parents never did, but my older brother had a field day with stuff like it. He once told me that if I ate too many green vegetables, I'd get gangrene. Another time he told me that I could go to jail for using the bathroom without washing your hands. (I remember he was tired of me going to the bathroom without washing my hands.)

If I dont sleep quickly then Chain witch will come out of the pond and take me with her.

now you will ask who is Chain witch, believe me, i dont know.

 

[Hands]

"You look just like me when I was your age!"

 

[Juno]

"If you don't clean your plate, you will marry a pock-faced man" apparently a common Chinese one since they mentioned it in Joy Luck Club too

And "don't go out alone at night or you will get kidnapped" - still tries this one on me.
