What kind of things did your parents used to tell you as a child to keep you quiet?

So my sister and her friends were re-hashing stories about how gullible they were. One story, told by my friend Rae, has to be the funniest form of mental abuse ever inflicted on a child! :D

Rae's mother : Keep crying Rae! Keep crying! Because, when you run out of tears, you're going to DIE!

Rae's friend : Rae! Don't cry! If you die, I won't have nobody to play with!

So what kind of stories were you told to keep you quiet?

    Well..this isn't really about keeping quiet, but for my sis to get me to quit picking my nose, she said that there was a snail up there that would bite my finger! LOLi never picked my nose again xD and if I ever made a face my mom said that my face would freeze like that.
