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.

Lie from Father"Yes, I'll call you. I promise."
That was 21 years ago, when I was 13. Haven't seen him since.
A friend's mother told me that black babies were born white and gradually turned black. (I turned that into a compo entry not too long ago.) She was absolutely adamant - I'm not sure if she was pulling my leg or if she actually believed it herself.
