What lies were you told when you were a kid that you believed?

Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and the principal had a spanking machine in her office.

This last one was not exactly a lie, however. When I was about seven, the principal pulled one little girl out of line returning to class, sat down on a chair in the hallway, and proceeded to paddle her. I never knew what she had done, or what led to this, but I knew your weren't supposed to be spanked in a public school. Naturally, all the kids wanted to watch (we were returning from lunchtime) but we were ordered to "go to your rooms!" It was the only one I ever witnessed, but the spanking machine story went on for much longer.
