We've all had parents who've told ridiculous stories as kids to keep our behavior in line. Don't stick your arm out the car window or it will get cut off like Bobby Sanders down the street. Don't eat candy before dinner otherwise you'll lose your teeth like Betty Sue did. Fictional cautionary tales are a parent's go-to weapon for keeping kids under control.



But the reigning queen of guilt-trip parenting is Beverly Goldberg, proud matriarch of the lovable 1980's family in "The Goldbergs." Beverly is a master at creating fictional stories to scare her offspring from committing foul behavior. Take a look at some of Beverly's funniest tragic tales of parenting below.
