The ice cream van - It comes around here every evening - and yes, I tell my grandchildren the same thing :-(

'Your pet has gone to live somewhere else'
Well, living in the country, it was more a case of my children finding young dead rabbits (we had cats)
'Dinner's ready, go inside and wash your hands, the rabbit's waiting for it's mummy, if we go away, she'll take him home'.

...one day, they saw me, from the window, lobbing the dead rabbit into the field......

I blame their father for not distracting them :-|

Sex lessons: I was found under a head of cabbage & my sister was found in a matchbox.

I was told that, if I sat on damp ground, I would ruin myself. Never did see the financial connection!

My mum used to tell us if we sat on a cold concrete step we would get piles, sat on many & never had them, as kids we did'nt even know what piles were. Another one was if I went out with damp hair (done many times & still do) I would catch a chill.

Some, but not all.

It's only recently that our son told us why he wouldn't eat his crusts. His grandmother used the 'curly hair' encouragement. His sister has really tight curls; there's no way he wanted hair like that!

I've done most of them but never told them the needle doesn't hurt. I told them it was just uncomfortable and said to count 10 slowly and it would be over. Neither cried or had problems with having injections. I also told them it was to protect them against nasty illnesses.

They are both blood donors now :-D

And your children will tell the same lies too Ann as mine do :-D :-D

Oh Dear I really was a bad parent
Ann :-D

Oh that noise from our bedroom? We were playing a game
There are fairies at the bottom of the garden
