I don't think I was told any. Or I didn't believe the ones I was told. I'm not sure.

My parents were quite honest with me though.

Oh, I've thought of one. Don't swallow chewing gum because it will wrap around your intestines and cause a strangulated hernia.

It wasn't my parents that told me that though and I didn't believe it for long because I tried it to see and never did expire from a strangulated hernia.

No, more like the maths and science which is taught because it gives easy answers, and teaching about Thomas Edison instead of Nikolas Tesla.

Every Sunday when I was about 5-6 I built a house of cards in my front room before bed and left it there overnight and always in the morning I found tiny goblets, salvers etc made from what could have been silver foil littered around outside it with crumbs from cake and tiny drops of spilled juice. There was also a note, the size of a postage stamp, tiny tiny writing thanking me for somewhere for the fairies to stay overnight. Sometimes they left their discarded ball gowns, the flower heads of snapdragons beautiful colours, with the stamens removed. I firmly believed the fairies had been and it made a little girl very happy. So maybe not lies, maybe kept a little girls beliefs going for a bit longer?

My friends dad told him that he had wiped out the dinosaurs with his tank when he was in the army. Funny thing was when my friend was at school and his teacher asked if anyone had a theory about the fate of the dinosaurs, he didn't hesitate to tell them in an authoritative tone what his father had told him. Imagine his surprise, and total embarrassment to find out he'd been the victim of a cruel lampoon!

over 30 years ago, when i lost my first teeth, mum said i had to phone the tooth fairy to let them know i had lost a tooth, and you could only get in touch with the tooth fairy by picking up the receiver and waiting...... after loooooong seconds, the tooth fairy picked up the phone, and i told her i had a tooth to collect, and she would thank me, and of course with her amazing fairy connections looking over all the children she always knew my name... and the next day, i had a pound note under my pillow.

one day, i never got my pound, and phoned up to ask what had happened. the tooth fairy said she was very sorry, but she had broken her wing, and would be with me that night.. and true to her word, i woke up with a pound note under my pillow.

found out years later my dad was the 'tooth fairy' on the phone extension upstairs

My parents used to say they were going to see a man about a horse. My brother and I were so excited and when they came home asked where the horse was. We later found out that's what they said when they were going out without us.

Mine was that a virgin is someone who doesn't eat meat, and that the film "Silence of the Lambs" was a story about a Kebab shop...

Eating vegetables puts hair on my chest.

Santa brought my Christmas gifts.

Tooth fairy paid me when a tooth fell out.

Carrots would make me see in the dark.

The moon is made of cheese.

Picking my nose could give me brain damage.

If I was pulling a face and the wind changed it would stop that way.

My parents told me loads of porkies

almost all of the above - loving all the fairy stuff i think its a magical part of childhood to have all this stuff when little - my girlie had a fairy 'lilac bush' who lived in her bedroom - home was a little wind chime hanging from a miniature bird box she had and swore to us she used to sing - even now (shes 20) gets defensive if we chat about it -

Being told all children were found under the Gooseberry bush!

And when my father went out on a Friday or Saturday night I was told he was off to see a man about a dog, never came back with one or if he had, he had lost it due to being shit faced!

If you swallow chewing gum it wraps around your heart.

If you swallow apple pips, then a tree will grow in your stomach.

"That there is a tooth fairy , an Easter bunny , a man in a red suit that delivers presents to the whole world in a night and that fairies live where trees meet across a road. I liked all those - even though they seem illogical as an adult ! "

Erm hang on they are all true

We had the dandelion on to! But you didn't sniff it, you rubbed it on your skin and you would wet the bed that night. Pin your mates down and cover them with it!

Have a couple.

My nan used to say if we wandered of from her the bogey man would come. Turn us to sausages and sell us in the shops. Never left her side!

I tell mine. If you mess around in maccies you get a 'sad meal' which tastes horrid!

It's not beer is dad's lemonade!

The dogs/ cats are not dead on the side of the road! They are just sleeping as the road is warm!

And the biggest one I am ever telling them is............

Mummy and daddy won't be disappointed if you don't do well in your exams! As long as you try your hardest that's good enough!
