Lies Your Parents Told YouI once overheard a neighbour use the phrase "nig nog". I asked my father what it meant. As quick as a flash he said, "It's a type of biscuit. A bit like a hobnob." Can you beat this? BTW: We're keeping this thread open for an extra week as we're enjoying the stories so much.

The spinach vanMy mother told us the ice-cream van was actually the spinach van....
More disturbingly, she told me that if I ate paper (I used to tear little corners off my books and consume them - no idea why!), that the paper would turn into glass in my stomach and cut me open from the inside out! I used to have nightmares!
I tell my son that the reason I know about all his little schemes, fibs and cons is that I have "Special Mummy Magic". He hasn't figured out that he just has a really guilty face and I can spot a lie a mile off 'cause there probably isn't one I didn't tell myself.
