The best lies our moms, per Axios Philadelphia readers

🥁 Here are our favorite responses:

🚗 Will A.: It's illegal to turn on the lights in the backseat of the car while driving and not to wear shoes in the car (in case there was an accident).

💦 John T.: Fire hydrant water can give you polio.

🥪 Ricky C. Sesame Place has a policy that all kids must eat lunch before they go in.

☕ Mandy H. Coffee will stunt your growth.

🍬 Mike S.: If you swallow your gum, your ribs will stick together.

📺 Mike's thought bubble: I remember my mom saying that if I sat too close to the TV, it would suck my brain out.

😂 Isaac's thought bubble: My mom is too Catholic to admit breaking one of the Ten Commandments by lying. JK, I just wanted to get a rise out of her, if she reads this.
