Lies Your Parents Told You
I 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.

My whole family lied!!
My mother, to her credit, didn't want me to grow up too fast. So, as weel as the usual things (Father Christmas, Fairies, mermaids), she also made me believe she was a fairy. Being the trusting sort, yet also not being stupid, i was in twi minds about this claim for many years.
I don't think she is...
My brother once spent a whole week trying to convince me his best friends little brother was made of plastic.
The worst thing is there was no REASON for this...
