    Here's one of my favorites:

    My mother used to make me turn Sesame Street off when "the Count" came on because count Dracula was a real person who was under Satan's influence and drank blood.

    What completely whacked out rules did your parents make for you growing up?

    Good question. I'll have to think about this one. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is a sister who wouldn't watch Guys & Dolls because it was about the Salvation Army, but she would watch The Sound of Music, which is all about nuns. >_> some people. . .

    My mom never let me check out ufo books because supposedly Satan controls ufos and aliens.

    ahh Jericho I've heard that one. My dad actually threw away all his Zep when he became a witness because of crap like that. And I guess Jimmy Page buying Aleister Crowley's old house had something to do with it as well.
