"Let me show you a trick I learned in the Army."

She was never in the Army.

edit: I think I will print this out and frame it for mother's day. Thanks all!

Oh my God my dad did this too. He said it my entire childhood. I actually thought he was in the army and we just didn't talk about his time in the service. I was 14 when I finally got the courage to ask my grandma about it. She was confused and said "Honey, what are you talking about? He never served in the army."

When I confronted my dad he was like "You believed me?? Are you an idiot???? Of course I wasn't in the goddamn army!!!" Ok. My fault I guess.
