When I was about three, my mother told me that I needed to drink all of my milk to be strong and healthy.
I believed her, so one afternoon while my mom was taking a nap, I poured about a quart of milk into the pot of our ailing ficus tree. It died by the next day.
To this day I still cannot keep a houseplant alive.
