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.

Parent 'Telly' LiesRemember the old BBC (or ITV) test card, with the little girl standing in front of a blackboard? (also with the scary clown?)
Well when she was little my wife's dad told her that it was her... he convinced her that he'd sent in a photo and because she was so pretty they decided to put her on telly for everyone to see.
And Yes, my wife totally believed this for years - even proudly telling me about it not long after we first met.
Bloody Lying Parents!
