» Lies Your Parents Told You

my dad was a viking.
when i was about 7 my dad used to do battle re-enactments and stuff. Him and his friends were vikings, every sunday they`d get their horned helmets and armour and swords and run around shouting.
The thing he didn`t tell me was that it was all pretend. He told me he was a real viking. When i went to school and the subject of vikings came up, surely enough i mentioned my fathers job. Mrs smith told me to stop being silly, i said no, he`s a real viking with a sword and shield and everything. Anyway, it ended with a screaming match and me being sent to the headmaster (mr gummery believe it or not) and getting a hiding with a slipper.
I`d like to say my dad went into school and gave him an eric the red sized beating, but he didn`t, i just got told to behave myself in the future. :(
