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.

Not exactly my parents but...Mum left me with my Great Aunt Josie a few times. Her speciality was scaring the children of my extended family by telling us ludicrous lies. Her favorite to tell me was that there was a murderer hiding in the bushes / the loft / behind that chair. Scary scary woman. Her grandson is in a semi-famous Liverpool band right now too, probably highly influenced.
