    They said it to you because their parents said it to them. They grew up with it being normal to say that. It was just a thing you said to kids because it was kind of funny to scare / confuse them a little.

        Agreed, but that’s how it’s always felt the older generations were operating to me. An “it’s tradition, that makes it ok” kind of thing. They never really considered the consequences.
