Mark Twain's Father
When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

This could not possibly be a Mark Twain quote considering that he was born in 1835, and his father died in 1847, when Mark was only twelve years old.

Will, it doesn't have to be factual to be an interesting anecdote.
