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.

I was toldnot to have a bath during a thunderstorm in case lightning hit the house and blew me up.
(I think she thought this was the truth)
Also when my older sister babysat me and I asked where my Mum had gone she would say "She's run off with a big black man."
I never understood why she told me this.
