When you are a child, you are constantly warned about the dangers of life.
exaggerated childhood words
@UberFacts on Twitter posted the following question:
What have you been warned about as a child that you now feel exaggerated? 💭

The answer was pretty spot on.
danger of quicksand
Probability of encountering quicksand.

Quicksand was commonly mentioned throughout childhood. But how often do you hear stories of someone getting sucked in and disappearing? It’s essentially impossible to die in this sand that acts as a liquid because your body won’t let you. A torso containing lungs allows you to remain buoyant even if your legs are slightly submerged.
turn on car lights
Bad things happen when you turn on the lights in your car.

If you’ve ever wondered if it’s okay to turn on your car’s lights at night, you’re not alone. We were all warned not to turn on our car lights, but as adults we don’t quite understand why. It can then be distracting for people wondering why it’s lit in the first place.
A College Degree Will Solve All Your Problems
Go to school and get a degree and all your problems will be solved.

There is a long-standing belief that if you go to college, all of life’s problems will miraculously disappear. That is why parents encouraged their children to do well in school and earn degrees. But in reality, having a degree does not make the problem go away. Between student loans and a toxic corporate culture (just to name a few), attending college may make your life better than if you chose not to, but it can also lead to another unexpected change. You can also add sets to the mix.
When you grow up, you will understand everything
adult intelligence

Children don’t know everything and were told to ask adults for answers. And when I talk to other adults, I find that neither do they.
