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.

MorroccanMy brother told me that I was a Moroccan, and that my parents found me when they were on holiday there. When I asked why I didn't have a huge nose like the other Arabs we saw (we were in Morocco on hols at the time) he said it was because I fell off a camel and squashed it. Parents fully backed him up and I believed him til I was about 6.
My dad told me that if I burst the bubbles made by washing-up detergent the King of Bubbles would get me. I defiantly said I would pop the King of Bubbles, but apparently the King of Bubbles is made out of cement... Barst. Still feel anxious when washing up.
