and she was right about there not being a bogeyman under the bed - when I finally looked there was just years of discarded toys and dust.

I asked my Mum if we could have some of the pink fish in the shop (salmon) - she gave me salmon each time we had fish after that - which was cod with some pink food colouring added to the water. Just after the War we had rabbits and I was told father rabbit "Peter" went to Heaven, and I was about l8 before I was told we had eaten him.

Your tongue turns black when you tell lies.

My mum used to make an apple pie and put some cloves in it. My Dad always got all the cloves on his plate. It became a family joke. I was in my 20's before my Mum told me she would serve it up and take everyone else's cloves out of their piece and put it on my Dad's plate.

Shame on you Mum!!

I got told I'd have curly hair too if I ate all my crusts - I'm 25 and it's still straight! (I have to tie it up wet or put it in rags to get even a hint of a wave.)

I've eaten carrots and loved them all my life . . . yet I've been wearing glasses since I was eight.

Two of the bigger lies follow:

When I was about eight, some child from my sister's class claimed that there was no Santa, so my sister and I put out a piece of paper with the mince pie and sherry asking Santa to sign. Sure enough, he did - and for years I believed in Santa implicitly because that writing didn't look like anybody's that I knew. I think I was twenty-four when my mum finally admitted that Uncle Geoff down the road wrote it!

Even further back, I grew up believing that "Nummy", my baby bottle which I couldn't be parted from, had fallen out of the car at Grandma's and been smashed . . . luckily Grandma happened to have a beaker on hand. Years later, it came out that Nummy never got put into the car that day - the only way my parents could prize it away from me was to tell me that story.
