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.

2 quite similar onesFirstly that if I looked out of the window at midnight I would see the devil and die.
Secondly if I dialed 666 on the phone I would speak to the devil and die.
ie go to bed when you are told and don't mess with the phone.
Oh and they told me if I touched a shrew the germs would always be on my hands and would never come off. They told me this because I had just found one in the garden, I spent an hour scrubbing my hands. I think my dad was trying to get me back for putting dog shit on his jumper a few days before.
