I had a friend who’s mother came home and said that the car was making a strange sound. She imitated it, saying something like “flubber, flubber, flubber.” Her husband said, “it’s the flubber wheel, I’ll make an appointment.” She went to work the next and told her coworkers that her car had a bad flubber wheel, and was furious to find out there was no such thing.

That same friend’s sister refused to stand up at a baseball game. She asked her dad, “why is everyone standing up,” and he replied, “it’s the seventh inning stretch.” She did not believe him.
