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.

CusturdI always hated custurd as a kid, but was continually informed by my parents that it was made out of "crunched up sweets" in effort to get me to eat it. Why they particulary wanted me to eat custurd I'll never know.
