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.

My Aunty J owned a parrot...... many years ago. These days I disapprove of caging animals, especially birds, but to a 7 year old there was nothing cooler than an imprisoned cockatu.
When visiting at Easter time Aunty J would give myself and my little brother a Cdbury's Cream Egg and say that the parrot had laid them.
One day something troubled me.
"Aunty J," I asked "if she lays them, how does she get the tinfoil wrapping on?"
After a moments thought she replied
"She's just very talented."
