What are the best lies youve told your kids? Now I have three examples of lies my parents told me. Ranging from obvious through a bit weird to just downright freaky. 1 - Cabbage is spinach and, well, Popeye and stuff. I bet youve done this. If you havent, the only reason you havent is cos your kids dont know who Popeye is. 2 - Baked beans will go down into your toes and make you jump. Really, Mum? Really? I dont think I ever really believed this. Hold on, this is going to get really weird. I was a questioning child, hence the elaborate level of detail. 3 - On a Sunday night, after I went to bed, Mum would take Concorde to the North Pole with the rifle* that she kept under the stairs (in the cwtch, for any Welshies), where she would hunt and kill a polar bear**. On the way back, Concorde would stop in New York where the animal would be butchered, the meat would be canned and Mum would bring it home and thats what corned beef is. Its yummy. Eat it. *There was no rifle. **No polar bears were harmed during the making of this story.
