My son (19) has just found out I lied to him and he is not happy

[KelperRose]

When he was little we took him to Disneyland Paris and he fell in love with Chip from Chip and Dale....

He followed them around got their autographs and was besotted with Chip...he didn't like Dale

Upon leaving we went to the giftshop to buy him a cuddly chip toy, only they were all out of Chips and only had Dales left.

So I bought the Dale and told him it was Chip .....the difference is in colour of their nose

For years and years this soft toy has been his bedtime companion he still cuddles it now......

Then on Thursday he went to the Disney shop with his girlfriend to buy her baby cousin a present and he wanted suggested a Chip

My dh is a wind up merchant. He's very shy and clever and seems very straight-laced but je's wickedly funny and has a great sense of humour .

When we first moved in together dh was tasked with buying some condoms. He went out and returned with a box of 12 which cost about £3. I was impressed and asked why they were so cheap. He told me that it was because there had been a warehouse fire and they were reduced because they were slightly fire damaged. A few weeks later we were out of them again and I suggested he go and see if there were any more fire damaged condoms left at the chemists. He stared at me for about 30 seconds before crying 'I didn't realise you actually believed that...'

10 years later and I'm still getting stick for that!

Absolutely pmsl @ convert's camel humps!

Nip??????

As in a little bite? That kind of nip?

Scots for pinch.

Ah, thank you Woffling.

Help! Help! I replaced DS (aged 7) special cuddly toy last year who blew away as he was so threadbare. I told him Father Christmas and the elves repaired him so he was as good as new. I never thought I would have to come clean. DS will be devastated (again!)

Omg! parsnips dwarfs in cashpoints! And you shouted thank you through the slot! I'm dying here

I'm from Perth, Scotland. Beautiful town onthe river Tay.

My dh convinced my dc that it was called the River Erth because it is brown and they called the town P-erth because that we where people went to pee in the river.

I had to 'fess up to ds when he had done a lovely map of Scotland and labelled the river 'Erth'!

Dying laughing! Welsh whales....genius

Interestingly my DH was also told the haggis story, maybe it's a generational thing?!

I love this thread.

I was about 19 years old before I realised what the strange plant that my uncle had growing in his cupboard was. And why he and the other uncles and aunts were sharing just one cigarette.

Fire damaged condoms!!!! LOL

campari it's a constant wonder to me that I didn't get pregnant until I was 31 tbh.

weeping with laughter

rofling my way through this, Especially not twigging that it would be cruel to keep little people in cash machines until 20 years old!

(Seriously though, it took me til sl1nky's post to figure out why Whales would have a welsh accent [hblush] )

For years my children have believed that 'Blackpool Pleasure Beach' was the little fair on the pier with the big wheel and carousel. This year they realised they'd been had. We just never took them to the other end.

Another gem from my dh - he convinced me that if you spun a DVD round really fast on your finger the film would project onto the ceiling. I was a bit confused how uou'd get the sound and he told me that it would sense it wasn't plugged into a device and display subtitles.

I have two fucking degrees!

Oh Mean! Just shows the difference between intelligence and common sense!
Stbxh and I told our dd that Pennsylvania is called that because that's where all the pencils are made. And that Pennsylvania had an outbreak of Zombies during the nineteen seventies.
We are horrible parents who shall surely suffer for our cruelty

We have DD1 utterly convinced that when the ice cream man plays a song it means he has run out of ice creams.

To be fair, DH only told her that once, now every time she hears the ice cream van she very seriously says:

"Mommy, he's playing music, that means he's run out doesn't it?"

To which of course reply "Yes, it does", whilst inwardly laughing and feeling slightly guilty all at the same time.

I told my little brother that he was a baby gorilla that had been left on our doorstep, and we shaved his fur off every night when he was asleep.

I also told him that the whole world used to be black and white until a scientist invented colour one day, and that's why old films and photos were in B&W.

And I had him convinced for years that if you go on a mystery tour, the driver gets blindfolded so no one knows where you are going.

Bad, bad sister

LOL at 'Marty Marty Marty'

My grandfather told me that cats eyes were real cats in little boxes in a tunnel under the road. I believed it for years

We also had an 11 year old hamster

chinley if it was the same worm medicine that I was given when I was little then it could have been chopped up worms, as it tasted so bloody rank
