When my nephew was 3 I was babysitting and we were watching a nature documentary. Penguins came on and I thought it would be funny to tell him they were called waddle boys... He is 5 now and still calls them waddlebois. ( I forgot I did this)
He was with his kindergarten class to the zoo and apparently he had to school everyone that they are not called penguins but waddlebois and he knows because his uncle told him so.
My sister calls me and just said "waddlebois" mind you I had totally forgotten untill she explained. My Nephew is upset because he got laughed at, my sister is mad, my nephew now thinks I lied to him which I guess I did.
all though what surprised me the most is that he even remembered
Anyway Now I'm just the uncle who lies for no reason
TL:DR told my 3 year old nephew penguins are called waddlebois as a joke, 2 years later he told his whole kindergarten class and teachers at the zoo. I'm a villain
