Answers:
yes they did,and i am still scared to look under the bed!thanks mum+dad!! :-)Www@Enter-QA@Com

No, as they just mostly told me not to do certain things and actually gave me a reason why they did not want me doing them!.

IE: Don't go down into the river by yourself as you may drown!.

I was a pretty bright child so there was not stories of Boogiemen and such, as I would have most likely taken that as an insult to my intelligence!.

My parents always gave me a reason for anything they did not want me to do, which I liked!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

no!.!.!.never!.
although they did used to say if i didnt get washed or go to bed on time e bogey man or monster in my wardrobe would come get me!.
And to my little cousin that if he didnt stop squeezing his "dinky" when he was about 2-4 (you know!.!.!.liek all kids do!.!.!.) that the birdies would come and bite it off!.
Oh and also that if I was bad i was getting sent to the naughty boys and girls home where i was only allowed 1 pillow and had to wash the floor with my own toothbrush!.!.!.HAHA


EDIT: Oh God, just remembered some others:
"If you pull a face and the windblows/changes your stuck like that forever"
"dont touch dandelions, you'll wet the bed"
"if you dont go in the bath the mucky girl gremlin will come and take you away"
there was loads!.!.!.im just too old to remember!.!.but i remember beign in fear alot haha

yes they told me stories and for the most part no they didnt work!.!.!.!.they may have a little but not like I was truly convinced

edit: my parents loved me to!.!.!.I dont like the implecation made that becuase they make up stories they dont love you!.!.!.!.they are trying to stop you from doing things that are bad for you with a reason you can understand instead of one you cannot!Www@Enter-QA@Com

No, that kind of thing was way too cutesy for my parents!. The only explanation we ever got was Don't do it or you're getting paddled!.

I think they tried the story of the boy who cried wolf with my sister, but it didn't work!. She figured it didn't apply to her because she never went into the woods!. No one ever accused her of being a dummy!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

No, I always got guilt trips after the fact!.!.!.for instance, when I was 4-5 I killed a frog!. Don't get me wrong, I love frogs!. But I had a hatchet in my hand, saw the frog, and wanted to know what its insides looked like (maybe that's why I'm a nurse!?)!.!.!.so I cut his head off!. I know it's morbid, just bear with me!. So my older brother tells my folks what I did and my mom is like, "That poor little frog, his mom is going to be looking for him tonight and won't be able to find him, because he's dead!." LOL!.!.!.it's funny now but then, I cried for hours over the poor little thing!.

But I haven't killed a frog since!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Answer to question:
Yes, my Mama told me about the troll who lives under the bed!. If a kid gets out of bed at night, the troll will hurt them and then eat them up!. It worked so well that even now (at 43 years of age) I still cannot have a bed that does not sit directly on the floor!. I cannot have any space between the bed and the floor!

When I was real young, I believed anything and everything my Mama told me!. I would never have believed she would lie to me! That is why it messed me up so bad!. Now I know she lied a lot!Www@Enter-QA@Com

bloody hell what kind of sick story is that! Yeah as a child, i was told the story of "naughty little suck-a-thumb" i think that was his name, in the end his thumbs were chopped off because he sucked them too much!

I got told loads actually, one about the girl that played with matches and then burnt to cinders!Www@Enter-QA@Com

My parents told me that babies were made by thinking you were pregnant and then you become pregnant!. At this time I thought it would be quiet nice to have a brother or sister and spent every day thinking I was pregnant to try and have a sibling!. After a few months I realised it wasn't working!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

U mean like Pinnochio (where his nose grows the more that he lies!?!?)

Or if u cross your eyes, they are gonna freeze that way!?!?

Or if u walk through the garden, veggie zombies are gonna rise from the ground and eat u!?

Or if u don't flush the toilet when your done, then your urine or fecal matter will come to life and jump back up your butt!?!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

yes, i did!. My son (who is 7) does not like to stay near me when we would go to stores!. I told him the story about Adam Walsh!. At least he understands whay I freak out when he goes off without me!. I never and my parents never made up or told us a folklore story to scare us though!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

hahaha
my mum told me tht if i played with my belly button my bum would fall off
AND
if i did a pee in the pool the water would turn red and ppl wud know tht i peed

haha cruel isnt it!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

yep!. i got told the eversopopular, 'if i stare at my nose too much i'll go cross-eyed'!.
i still have panic moments when i try to look at my nose!. i'm scarred for life D:Www@Enter-QA@Com

I remember vaguely someone telling me that my school was built over an ancient Indian burial ground!. I was creeped for a good 6 months until I realised I was in England and that was geographically impossible!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
