Craziest, most idiotic ignorant thing your parents/grandparents have said to you?

So, I was having a conversation with my mom and sister the other day about how my 8 month old neice, Michelle, went out with her father and his cousin. Upon finding out that his cousin was a lesbian, my mom told my sister that she shouldn't let Michelle be around her anymore. I asked why and she then replied "because Michelle's a girl and she might do something to her." Then, I totally ragequitted at my mom for thinking that all lesbians and gays are in the same boat as child molestors.

Then earlier today, she told me I was insane for thinking that the universe was created by a big "boom in the sky" and not God making everything and everyone in six days or some crap.

Anyway, how 'bout you guys? Do you have any stories about your parents saying such uneducated bull to you?

My ex-step dad once told me everyone in the state of Pennsylvania are cannibals. Irony has it, my best friend lives there

My dad tried to tell me that people can't grow past 6 foot. Fun on him when he found out I'm 6"4.

My mother once told me that she feels God forces her to drag me to church when she remembers to get up..and yet church is optional.

It's not something idiotic just funny stuff, I really can't remember anything like that for the moment...I know there are many I just can't think of one.

My dad told my brothers and I when we were little that if we ate boogers our tongues would turn green and we believed him.

We also always had Turkey Vultures that would fly over our house when we used to live in the country. My dad said they would pick up kids and carry them away and eat them. So whenever we saw them flying around we ran inside.

He told us that there was a lady of the lake who lived in our swamps in the woods and she came into our house at night and sucked the life out of us....that is just a couple of this and yet there is so much more haha. Let's just say he liked to keep us traumatized.

My dad believes the reason why we are having so many storms is not because of global warming or any of the ecological bad things we due to the Earth, but that the Muslims have built a device that controls the weather and it has now gone hay wire.

Ah, man. I would hate to listen to their lectures if it was about stereotypes!

It kinda reminds me of my dad (who lives 9 hours away from me). He always wanted a son to "carry on the line of *insertfamilynamehere*" Unfortunetly for him, he got a daughter who refuses to talk to him (my sister) and a tomboy who was "son" enough for him (me), but he still seems to think I'm still the delicate 4 year old like I was when he left us. He didn't even want to watch "The Lovely Bones" with me when he visited for Christmas because he thinks its going to happen to me someday.

He also told my sister when he found out she got pregnant [at 15] that he has to meet the father because "parents are supposed to meet the man who knocked up their daughters." Sure, I guess it's common courtesy, but its not an ultimatum or something lol

My mother once raged at me for a couple of hours because she tought the word dictionary was with two Cs (dicctionary).

My father once commited the mistake to tell me "you should get a boyfriend". I almost slapped him, and that's something you don't do your parents. As for the rest, he's quite aware of reality.

Isn't that what Hugo Chavez said about the American government? That we have a supar sekret weather machine that can cause natural disasters. He blamed us for the Haiti quakes. ._.

My parents used to tell me that playing with fire would make me piss myself in my sleep. Didn't stop me from playing with fire...

Oh, and I don't know if I got that from my parents, but when I was little I had sometimes gotten the idea that gay men are all castrated.

These are all things my mother has said:

"Black people should always win gameshows. They deserve it what with everything they have to put up with. Slavery is a horrible thing"
I think she believes slavery is still around.

"I like gay people, they should live together and be happy, but they shouldn't get married. That's for men and women only"

"Tattoos and piercings are satanic, how could you destroy the body God gave you like that?"

and my personal favorite

"You should stop being a Wiccan already. When we die I want us to go to heaven together. God won't forgive you for giving up the religion you were raised in, after you died."

Wow. Just wow. And to think I was taught that God was supposed to be a forgiving god... why is it that a good amount of religious people are so hypocritical, its hardly even funny anymore?

To contribute to the thread:

My Oma is deathly afraid of my brother's garden snake, Eden, because she thinks "it could be the devil in disguise that will go around the house forcing us into sinning."

My parents are pretty smart generally, but they do say some stuff that makes me roll my eyes, mostly about economic stuff that I am never going to agree with them on so I have given up pretty much. My dad is impossible to argue with anyway since he was trained to argue in law school.

edit:

just remembered a good one- my dad: "I am going to drive the SUV around as much as possible because we have to put MORE greenhouse gases into the environment to prevent the coming ice age!"
Apparently "some scientists" believe that the ice age is coming. I am wondering if these are the same scientists that work for oil companies.

Well that made me laugh hysterically. Reminds me of how a friend's mom very seriously asked me, "I don't claim to know how hard it's been for you people (people who aren't white), but tell me, do you guys bruise or bleed? I've always wanted to know!" I almost told her that our blood was blue but that seemed mean. Bless her heart she was so sweet and so racist.

Now for mine, I asked to hook up my 360 to the wide screen tv and my step-dad completely flipped out and went, "If you do that you'll ruin the TV!" They seem to think the colors and sounds from the games are so amazing that they'll just make the TV burst into flames when I tried to explain that's half of what those TV sets were made for.

-males should be locked in cages and only used for breeding.

-she thinks Hitler killed everyone and tried to take over the world becAuse he is a man and that Hitler was a sign sent from her god to show the world how evil me are

Are we living the same life? My parents aren't together and I live with my mom and grandparents, who tell me similar things.

Like a few months ago, someone left the water on in the bathroom sink (not me, but I was blamed for it) and we had this terrible water damage that destroyed like half the the downstairs hallway. My Opa, who likes to take out his stress on others, was yelling at me about the how expensive it was to fix the water damage and said "If you weren't alive, this would have never have happened"

Funny thing is, the insurance covered it all.
