Weird rules people had growing up include:

- “My grandmother said not to poop during a lightning storm because a bolt of lightning might strike the pipe and electrocute me.”
- ” I wasn’t allowed to put sugar in my tea because my mum told me that ‘when you go to prison they don’t let you have sugar, so it will makes prison that much harder.’ 1: Thanks for having so much faith in me mum. 2: I’m pretty sure you are allowed sugar for your tea in prison.”
- ” I was never allowed to leave a drink in the car because, according to my mother, ‘someone could poison it.’ She’s always been overly paranoid about safety, but that rule is still my favorite.”
- “We couldn’t say the word ‘fart.’ Ever. It was up there with the f-word as far as bad words in my parent’s world.”
