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.

lets go fly a .......bmw :-\When my parents divorced my father moved to Cape Town and every so often I would go and visit Dad....being around about 8/10 I was pretty young and ...gullible.
My father drove a brand new 535i BMW and on the dash it had a *magic* button. The fcuker told me that once this *magic* button was pressed invisible wings started extending out of the undercarriage of the car, in preparation for flight. However we never got to test this properly as lamp posts, post boxes and the like could have damaged the invisible wings.
I returned to Johannesburg and one morning in a friends parents car, with all my chums around, proudly stated that my fathers car could fly. I was drowned in laughter and am still taunted to this day.
I believed him; I had no reason to believe he would lie....why would anyone lie?
Bless the workings of a young un's mind.
(^-^)
If you're curious....it was the air conditioning button which lit up in blue...unlike the rest of the 'normal' buttons.
