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.

One timewhen I was about 3 or 4 I ate an orange and accidentally swallowed one of the pips. my loving mother then proceeded to explain that because I had swallowed the pip, I would get an orange tree growing out of my belly button. At first I didn't believe her but she kept promising me it was true and I ended up in floods of tears because I thought i would have to walk around with a tree growing out of me forever.
