Did your parents ever tell you flat-out lies that you still believe as an adult? I'm not talking about things like the tooth fairy or Santa Claus. The most believable lies are the subtle ones that come in the form of advice.
As I was peeling an apple (I usually eat something right before I go to sleep), I remembered this bit of fatherly wisdom from my dad: "Eating an apple is as good as brushing your teeth."
This makes no sense on so many levels.
I brushed my teeth before I ate that apple just now. And thanks to you, Dad, I have no desire to brush my teeth again. Maybe this is why I had so many cavities growing up.
