The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 My mum used to tell me I was adopted when I was naughty. Never thought anything of it, until this one day I found my birth certificate, my brother's and sister's one. On my brother's one, it states the name of my parents. On my sister's it again states my parents names. On mine, it was blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 - picking your nose will give you brain damage - playing with your belly button will make your whistle fall off - playing with your whistle will make your bum fall off - if you don;t wash your hands you'll get cancer - mums always right - if i don;t behave she'll call the zoo an have me put in the monkey enclosure. (she actually rang them once; or so i thought, many years later she told me it was the speaking clock she dialled) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't find out until he was 44 when he needed a birth certificate to get married. I only found out on the day he was married, I was 24 at the time.

NeilMH Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 - don't put your elbows on the table - don't argue the toss - don't forget raise your cap to Mr Turnbull (neighbour who left house at same time I did) - don't do as I do; do as I tell you - shoulders back, head up, stomach in, chest out (when walking) - there's no such word as can't - don't talk with your mouth full - find me someone who drops litter and I will find you a criminal - don't drop your H's Just to be going on with. As an aside....one of the rules at my school was that you couldn't take a bike to school until you could swim 25 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 BBK did Mummy say you would meet a nice girl one day I've been told I'm not adopted anyways. Apparently they (the hospital) forgot to fill in my birth certificate. Also doesn't make sense when I'm the eldest child. And yes she did used to say that. But now we've all pretty much given up on that happening. Esp my Dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I was told that all those yellow flowers in the fields in the summer were mustard plants. It wasn't until I was 23 when I asked my girlfriend at the time why she was allergic to mustard plants that I finally discovered they were rapeseed. I argued the toss in the car all the way home until I could google it and discovered the sad truth that I'd been lied to by my parents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Not really lies, but a couple of funny things my parents used to say to me when I was a kid.

Vik54 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 yup - "don't pull faces / the wind will change/ you'll stay like that" and (not my parents but my great aunt) whilst I was doing headstands in my nightie (aged about 8) "That's not ladylike!
