What lies did your mum and dad tell you?

[meglet]

Or maybe that you tell your kids? (Nothing serious I mean). My mum told me that eating too many eggs made you egg bound (eggs must have been a bit expensive for her in those days!) and that we didn't get tornados in this country (Wizard of Oz scared the hell out of me!) What well-meaning lies did they tell you?

When I was about 6 my mom said that the rag and bone man shouting in the street was the child catcher from the wizard of oz, it wasnt nice!

i had a mouth ulcer once and my mum wanted to put Ambasol on it. She told me it wouldn't sting so I let her. When it stang like hell I looked at her with big wide eyes and said "you told me it wouldn't sting?!!" she said "you wouldn't have let me do it otherwise!" I still bring it up now and again to embarrass her.

Eat your crusts they will amke your hair curl.
Eating carrots makes your eyesite better, rabbits eat carrot and they don't wear glasses.
Never go out with your hair wet you will catch a cold.
If you don't get up now at this minute you will miss the bus.
I have forgotten more than you will ever know.
So you think you are clever well I'll show you clever.

Just a few of my mothers constant naggings.

My brother once had NINE eggs in a single day and the house smelled disgusting, he said he couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

[meglet]

Surely he was "eggbound" ater that!!

In a Bertie Wooster voice, Eggs for breakfast I'll be bound !!

We lived a lie for years. Two close cousins were actually my fathers children. His first marriage was to my aunt, their mother. We were then expected to keep the secret for many more years and they called her new husband dad.

I knew, as adults, they knew the truth. When my father was dying I went to them, hoping they would not continue the lie. I asked if they wanted to see him and acknowledge him as their father before it was too late.

They did. A moment I shall never forget.

She also told me the man in the chemist had a job going, when I asked her what it was she said " he wants somebody to take 3 blind monkeys out for a sh!t " I went and asked the man about the 3 blind monkeys and got chased down the street, she thought it was so funny!!
