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.

ThunderSimilar to Dogtanian's...
When I was a lad my little brother was TERRIFIED of thunder (the inclement weather phenomena not the long-haired rock troupe) until one day my mum told him that thunder was the sound of God bowling a strike. This did lead to my brother's drawing of 'God', looking for all the world like 'The Dude' from 'The Big Lebowski', being on the fridge for nearly ten years.
Similarly apparently lightning is God taking photographs of angels.
