20. This was worn out on the first day - He obviously thinks he's found something hard core....

When I was a kid my mother told me I was English, French and Indian.

I was proud and I told people this for 45 years. I mentioned it to my mother one day when I was
in my 40's. I said - We're part native American aren't we? - and she said, "Don't you wish?"
I was flabbergasted - she was the one who told me.

When I was in grammer school my mother told me I was related to Lizzie Borden.
We lived in New Bedford , MA and Lizzie Borden was from Fall River, MA so the
local history was well known. I told all my friends at achool.

I was in high school when the subject came up again and she said that
our relatives were named Bor-D-man (Bordman) and she made a mistake.

What is a kid supposed to do when they are 5 years old and they hear a proud parent announce that your relatives are doctors and lawyers and all the stuff that's supposed to make you proud about your heritage - are you supposed to ask for proof?

This was a child being told something about her family history from a parent or grandparent
that was a mistake (or maybe not - just not proven or documented - yet). The child had
no reason to doubt the source and was not savey enough to contact a lawyer before
spreading the story to her grammer school chums and there you go. What's the harm?

It happened to me twice!
