parents

They just want to keep their kids safe...

When you spend a lot of time around a small group of people, you start to develop...shall we say, eccentricities?

You might find that you yourself believed some of these dumb things for a while, or even to this day. But hopefully not the bear one. The bear one is just plain dumb.

As much as you'd like to ask "what were they thinking," they are asking that themselves.

"No swearing in front of my parents" is pretty common and easy to follow, but these people had some brushes with true obsessive craziness.

Good or bad, these moms have done some bonkers shit.

These people made great sacrifices for their fellow man.

Ah, the old days. Back when life was simple. You could take candy from strangers, no one wore seatbelts and teachers could hit kids. Why did things ever change.
