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.

My parents lied to me constantly...and not just the silly crap about Santa Claus...
"You have to wait 30 minutes after you eat before you get in the pool, or you'll get cramps."
"You can't go barefoot in the mud because you'll get worms in your feet."
"I'll beat some sense into you."
"There's this big guy that lives in the sky, and if you're bad, he'll punish you."
