ITT: Illogical things your parents said to you when you were a kid

My parents didn't really mind me playing games when I was sick. In fact, they didn't mind me skipping school either, as long as I didn't go overboard and skip once every other week or something. Of course, I never tried skipping that much, even if they let me. They were fairly laid back, gave me a lot of freedom. I can't think of many times I actually got in trouble as a kid, I was pretty well mannered. I never went through a "rebellious teen" stage either, because there was nothing to really rebel.

My father still plays video games with me online. In fact, we played Black Ops earlier this week together.
