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 older brother used to tell methat my other brother could time travel. He even made me a book about it called 'Henry and the Dinosaurs'. I believed this until I was about seven.
He also used to tell me that there was a monster in our cellar that had been asleep for a hundred years, and if I made too much noise it would wake up and eat me.
He also told me that there was a type of organ that played a note that if anyone heard it they would start to disintegrate. I was terrified of listening to organ music or going to churches with an organ in them.
