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.

Cats and other things.When I was a kid, our cat was taken to the vet's one day. Apparently the vet liked him so much he kept him.
Every Christmas Day, watching the Queen's speech with my dad, who was always very pleased that his Christmas card to her was on the table/desk/mantelpiece behind her.
When I was about five, Tom Baker was giving a free talk about being Doctor Who (cos he was at that time) and my dad took us to see him. That night Dad pointed out the window at a moving light in the sky and said "there's the Doctor going home in his Tardis". Which I told everyone at school the next day.
