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 Grandpa, egged on by my parents...Used to tell me to knock on the pillar by his front door to use the "magic switch" to turn the outside lights on and off. It was when I was 15 that I finally realised he had his hand on the switch just inside the door! They weren't laughing with me...
