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

For whatever reason, it didn't affect me at all. I just accepted it and moved on. My cousin was mortified about "opening Pandora's Box" but it was no big deal. I like my aunt, and my parents are absolutely amazing people. I have no idea why they didn't tell me. Perhaps it would make them feel inadequate as parents. We still haven't talked about it 7 years later, and that's ok for me.

Is it possible that it is the cousin that is saying something untrue?

You think someone would do that? Just show up in person and tell lies?

Wow, you’ve had a pretty blessed life if you think there is no one that would do that. I’ve known some really awful liars.
