It's true I tell you
It's true I tell you
The mug/egg thread has made me think about things we were told as children and just accepted as being true. I took great pleasure in telling my kids all sorts of rubbish, never thinking for a moment that they would actually believe it......although it did backfire slightly when OH was working abroad for a well known cereal company and it transpired that my girlie had told all her mates that her Dad was actually Tony the tiger and spent the week handing out free cereal to French people in supermarkets (he was actually managing their IT systems in the run up to the millennium Y2K) I got in a bit of trouble for that one

If there's no such thing as co-incidence, then why is there a word for it?

Ann's business was children's nurseries - the cook at one of the branches told the children that lunch that day was "chicken lips", it was actually chicken nuggets but the kids loved them anyway.
Several weeks later one of the mum's when collecting her precious asked where she got the "chicken lips" from; she couldn't find them anywhere and her child loved them.

I told my daughter that Golden Syrup was made of crushed lions and that's why there was a picture of a lion on the tin. She believed it for many, many years. It's not so much fun now they are grown up, but she will still occasionally start to tell people something that she firmly believes to be the case and only tail off when I start snorting with laughter.

When I left home and was living in a flat in the 70's we were all having a conversation about how mean parents could be. It was turning into a bit of a "4 Yorkshire Men" for me so I told them my dad used to go around and steal those collection boxes which stood outside shops. (Those of a certain age may remember the little boy with polio and calipers on his legs shown below). I said dad sawed the feet off to get the money out and there were loads under my bed and in my wardrobe which was one of the reasons I left home.
I really didn't expect to be believed so I was horrified a week later when one of my flat mates was repeating the story in the pub to someone. The more I insisted it was a joke and really wasn't true they though I was just embarrassed and back tracking. There's probably still folk in Whitley Bay who talk about my horrible dad!
