What tall tales and sayings have been passed down in your family.
My great uncle was known for telling others that he was "born in a log cabin in Mississippi that he built all by himself."
I'm sure there are others like me who truly cherish such things as part of their family legacy and culture. I feel safe saying that earlier generations did not take themselves as being always serious like so many today.

My father in law used to say: "I'm not saying Anna (his mother, my grandmother inlaw) is old, but she was Methuselah's babysitter"

My grandpa's brother told me about their older sister who was always lying about her age.
He said "Aw hell, when Jean was born the ocean wudn't even full".
