I got away with the Ice Cream van one for 7 years. Summer 2013, they found me out.
The kids believe their Mother and I have X-Ray eyes as we can tell when they’re jumping on the beds when we’re not in the room. They wanted the upgrade too, but I told them it’s only available in a hospital when you are given your first child.
They still believe I used to be a pirate – not a nasty one, but a nice one – a bit like Robin Hood.
They still believe that me and my brother have interchangeable body parts – evidenced by the fact that when my lad and I are horsing about (with him trying to give me dead-legs etc) any pain he dishes out isn’t felt by me, but by me brother 200 miles away.
There’s loads. I love lying to my kids. 😀
