There was a brief article on radio a week or so back which featured a few. One was when the ice cream van sounds his bells it means he has run out of ice cream.
I was discussing this with a friend who came to dinner over the weekend. I told her of one I used to tell mine, that wild strawberies were poisonous. It meant they left them alone for us to eat!
She had me cracked up with a similar tale. They were on the beach in France and the man selling do-nuts was calling out in French. (Arena will know the words) What is he calling for mummy? To which she replied, not wanting to buy do-nuts which she could not afford, 'He has lost his dog and is calling for it!'
The tale gets better as a couple of days later the same thing happened. The chidren said 'Oh that poor man still can't find his dog'
Has anyone got any others they want to share?

My mum used to trot out the old classic. If we pulled faces: If the wind changes, you'll stay like that.

Santa Claus... Adam and Eve... Noah's Ark... etc., etc...
One of my favourites was (allegedly) Noël Coward's. A child said "What are those two doggies doing?"
On seeing exactly what they were doing, Noël explained - "The doggie in front has gone blind, and his friend is pushing him all the way to St Dunstan's.."
