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.

/LurkMy parents told me...
That there was a man who came round and checked the bins to see if I'd eaten all my vegetables and if he found too many they'd get arrested and taken away.
another one (but not my parents this time) A friend of mine from college liked ice-cream so much as a child that his parents told him that if an ice cream van had music playing it meant that'd run out of ice cream. A money saver I suppose...
'pologies for the length.
