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.

InsulationWhen I was about six, my parents were doing house renovations. Therefore, building supplies such as drywall, plywood, and pink fluffy insulation was spread throughout the house. My parents managed to convince both myself and my sister that if we touched the insulation with our bare hands, we would be itchy forever and ever. I wouldn't even go into a room where they were doing insulating. The sad thing is, I believed in this permanent itching for the next four years. Sometimes I'm just not that clever.
