I have a doosey.
(my mom reads kmc forums and pm's me through it so I just want tell her sorry mom I had to tell and you know it's true!! 😛 )
any way when I was little she used to let me sit up with her and watch t.v. all kinds of stuff (s.n.l.,the goodies,Benny hill,etc..)
well she let me watch a show called 'Night Gallery' there was a episode where a earwig got into a man's ear canal and starting eating into his brain when they got the earwig out they thought they saved his life but it layed eggs so his head was infested.
I looked up at my mom and asked her if earwigs were real and could do that and she said point blank yes they are real.
I was terrified for years and would sleep with my arms over my head and have nightmares...when I was about 13 or 14 I looked them up in the dictionary...they are real alright,but they eat ears of corn!!
I asked her why she lied and she says to this day but you asked if they were real and I didn't lie...mom!! 😂
BKK- Earwigs ARE called earwigs because they are known for crawling into peoples ears. I actually know somebody that it happened to.
My dad once slipped and said "F*ck!" when I was little but then he explained to me that it was only the 2nd time he ever used the word to make me believe that it was really rare. Now I know he was lying because we are older and he drops f-bombs all the time.
