How my dad convinced 5yo me to eat carrots

My mom always told us it made our eyes glow in the dark. My brothers always asked "are my eyes glowing now??"

Fun story. As a kid I used to idolize my mom. She was the closest thing to a goddess I knew. And she wore glasses, so naturally I wanted to have glasses too. I knew she didn't like the glasses, but still I wanted glasses. She would tell me why she got glasses (watching the TV too close, or watching it for too long, not eating carrots and fish, etc.) and she told me all of those things as a warning but I went the opposite route and when she wasn't looking, I did everything she told me not to. Now I wear glasses, and I don't mind them much, just that they're heavy and keep sliding down and it just gets in the way in pictures. :P

My dad used to tell me masturbating would make me go blind. I told him I'd stop as soon as I needed glasses!
