but you really didn't? 1. My dad is convinced to this day that I was messing around and went in the ditch hitting a fencepost. In reality I hit a deer. Truly, I hit a freaking deer. There was no blood so he doesn't believe me. We just talked about this a few months ago, 25 years later, and he's still positive I'm lying about it. lol 2. Conversation with my mom last night revealed she thinks I skipped class to go to my boyfriends apartment instead of attending classes in college. I lived at home and he went to school two hours away. My classes were 1.5-3 hours long depending on the night and I wasn't "allowed" to have a job so I was allotted $10 per week for gas. I couldn't logistically get to his apartment and back in the time allowed or with the gas money I had. She still doesn't believe it because "that's what she heard." Nice to have your support mom

I'm pretty sure my parents are convinced I was a virgin when I got married. I dated dh for 5 years and didn't loose my virginity until 3 months before the wedding. I really tried to be the bride legitimately wearing white.

Mine is the opposite really.
I used my daddy's car to go pick up a upholstered chair I'd bought. We (this was early in marriage to now ex-H and he was with me) loaded the chair in the trunk which of course meant the lid was open due to the size of the chair. I looked behind me backing up but I didn't look UP. The sign for the business jutted out over the parking area and I backed into it badly denting and jamming the trunk lid.
Although I was driving when we left my parents and when we returned (with the now-dented car), I'm convinced my father thought to his dying day that my then-husband had done it. But then again, daddy never did think his darling daughter did anything wrong. Lol.

caught the barn on fire. I was there when it happened, but I didn't do it. A little girl who belonged to the itinerant farm help my grandfather hired brought the matches up to the barn. We were actually not supposed to even play with any of the help, however we would always sneak and do it. She decided to burn a few sticks in the barn and the hay caught. She took off running and my cousin and I tried to put the fire out (we were 5 years old) an Uncle saw the smoke and came running. Both of us got spankings and grounded for the fire. We never told on the little girl.

My mom always thought i was doing drugs. Every time i said i was going for a walk, i would get the 'are you on drugs' speech... she knew all the 'signs', and i was clearly exhibiting them. The funniest part of this is that I've never even smoked a cigarette or drank alcohol, let alone tried drugs. I have no idea if she still thinks i was doing drugs.

My mother is convinced that I'm the one who contrived the slip and slide through our garage by running the hose through it and dumping laundry detergent in the running water. Actually, it was my brother's idea, but since he was only 3 and I was 6, I can understand why I got blamed. My father, on the other hand, was convinced that anything that ever went wrong with my cars was my fault for no logical reason. For example, I worked at a mall. One night someone must have backed into my car because the bumper was dinged. The damage was so minor that I'd not even noticed it. Then, apparently someone sat on the hood of my car at a football game and dented it slightly. Again, I wasn't there and never noticed, but my eagle-eyed father did. The real doozy, though, was when HE had been working on belts in my car before I drove back to college. On my drive back, one of those belts slipped off, knocking my water pump through my radiator. But was the damage his fault? Nope, I had to have been driving too fast.

My mother swears I always unwrapped all my Christmas gifts beforehand and then wrapped them back up again. No idea why she thinks this...it didn't happen.

The biggest stand out episode is when about $1000 disappeared from a drawer in my parents' livingroom. It was in that drawer for months, and my mother noticed it missing a few days after my brother had an unsupervised birthdayparty in the livingroom with his 12-13-year old classmates. My mother is to this day, 20 years later, convinced it was me, because there had been a chair up against that drawer at the birthdayparty. Really?? This incident comes up in conversation on a regular basis. 20 years later. Always with blame on me *sigh* For the record; I didn't do it!
Oh, and I also didn't steal my older sister's vodka and replaced it with water. That was my 13-year old brother. But that has all been cleared up by now and is actually a funny story. Wasn't funny when I was 17 though...

Was a whore from 7th grade on. Didn't have sex until I was 21 or so.

My mother is convinced that the one time I got caught while sneaking out at night (took a boat out with a guy, boat broke down, got towed back in) was the ONLY time I snuck out. I told my friends that once, they about died laughing.

There are two things I can think of that my mother to this day swears happened even though they didn't. First is she thinks I told my music teacher in elementary school to write in my yearbook "you are a great singer." My mom insists I told the teacher that mom didn't like my singing. Reality is the teacher wrote that in everyone's yearbook! (and yeah, I'm not a good singer ) The other was more recently revealed now that my son is applying for college. She insists I got accepted into a local state university. I have no recollection of even applying for colleges and actually had pretty much dropped out of high school before winter break of Senior year (I eventually homeschooled the rest of the year and so was able to graduate with my class--but obviously college wasn't on my mind at that time).

My mom was absolutely sure I was having sex with a close guy friend I spent a lot of time with. But that wasn't the kind of relationship we had with each other. He wanted a girl to go out and do "date" things with and spend time with but wasn't interested in a physical relationship beyond hugging and holding hands. My guess was that he was asexual or maybe gay/bi and conflicted about his sexuality because he came from a very strict religious family.

My mom is positive that when I was backing out of a parking space on ice that I was just gunning it and that's how I hit the car behind me. But I truly wasn't gunning it and just hit the ice just right. She wouldn't hear me though, $2k in damage in the 90s, and she was just pissed.

The funniest part of this is that I've never even smoked a cigarette or drank alcohol, let alone tried drugs. I have no idea if she still thinks i was doing drugs. my dh's mother went to her grave convinced he was an alcoholic and drug addict. My dh barely drinks, I can count on one hand the times he has been drunk in our 20 years together. But she said the same "she knows the signs" and she would always whisper things to me about AA or alanon, and she would give me pamphlets on living with addicts and tips/tricks on getting divorced from them. She even made me a binder of information. (I couldn't make that shit up if i tried). It was so utterly bizarre. DH has no idea why she thought that and no amount of telling her otherwise ever convinced her.

I'm glad to see I'm in good company. After our conversation I was spitting and sputtering about all the stuff I was supposed to have done. DH just laughed. His mother is absolutely convinced he was a saint in high school. Umm...he definitely wasn't.

I am pretty sure that there were no illusions in my family as to what I was or was not doing.

I am pretty sure that there were no illusions in my family as to what I was or was not doing. Same here, although I recently found out that my daughter thought the wedge pillows we had in our bedroom to help with DH's snoring (or after an accident or something - I can't remember why we bought them) were actually sex position pillows.

I am pretty sure that there were no illusions in my family as to what I was or was not doing. My bedroom was a granny flat in our back yard and we were right next to a park which had a skateboard park and netball courts. Every Friday night I would pretend to go to bed early so I could go out to my room. My boyfriend would ride his bike over and hide it in a bush, jump the fence, spend a few hours alone with me before riding home at 10.
One Saturday morning my mum mentioned that on their return from watching netball the night before my younger sister had noticed a bike in the bush that looked a lot like P's bike. "of course that wouldn't be his because he knows he is welcome at our house at any time without needing to sneak over"
At the time I thought how lucky I was that my mum was so naïve!!! It took me years to realise that was her way of letting me know she knew what we were up to! And karma did come our way as one night some boys from the skate park found his bike and it took P over an hour to convince them to give it back- of course he got home late and was grounded.

My best friend and I drove 12 hours upstate to visit my boyfriend my freshman year of high school. Our parents asked where we were staying. I told mine the truth, that we were staying in my boyfriends dorm room. My friend told her mom that we were staying at some sorority house. My parents ran into her mom at the grocery store and started talking. My friends mom managed to convince my parents that we were at this sorority house, and they were super pissed at me for lying! One, I couldn't believe that they believed that because I hate sorority houses and 2., you're pissed that I'm there, but a-ok with me sleeping in my boyfriends room unsupervised for a week? To this day they are convinced I lied about where we stayed on that trip!
