When I was little, my dad had a friend named Scott. I thought my dad's friend was the king of Scotland

Uhhh....

This is not me, but my father. We live in a small town with a volunteer fire department and so whenever the fire department is needed, a siren goes off.

Well, one day, I heard a siren that sounded like the normal siren only distant and my father claimed that the neighboring town had a "shark siren".

My mother thought that sounded a bit weird, and then my father realized that he'd probably been lied to as a kid and bought it all his life! (He's 45, so he'd be believing the lie for decades!). He suspected either his parents, or this one friend he's had for a long time were the ones to lie to him.

I was born at a hospital named after its founder, who had the same last name as me (not related), so I used to believe there was a hospital for each family name.

When I was younger, my cousin used to try to convince me that I was adopted and I sometimes believed it."
