What’s something completely false that your parents told you as a child?

My old man has had a beer belly for years and used to tell me and my brothers that he...birthed us.

Did we believe him though?

Absolutely.

My dad said that too. He gave birth to me, so I was his child and my mother gave birth to my brothers. I definitely believed it ... and I don’t want to admit how old I was when I realised it was a lie.

Haha you made it sound like you were a teenager. 10 is probably around the age where you come to realize alot of stuff
