[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my mothers tells little white lies.  the most annoying one is her birthday, she claims to have been born in a different month then her real birthday, same year.  go figure, she has never told me why she has lived with this stupid lie for decades but now I have to cover for her too.  its so stupid and annoying.[/quote]

My husband's official birthday is six months earlier than his real one. He was born in a developing country, where the parents register the birth with the authorities. His dad claimed he was born earlier, so that he would be able to start school earlier. Then, a few years later, he did the same thing with the second child. He picked the same date, so that he would be more likely to remember it.

This isn't a secret... he'll tell anyone who asks. But it's a possible reason for your mother's strangeness. [/quote]

Yup, pretty much everyone in my parent's generation has this same situation. It's pretty funny. I've gotten some head shaking from people who think that we just have completely forgotten my Mom's birthday, even though we celebrate the 'real' one a few months later. [/quote]
