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.

That cow one reminds me of a similar oneMy grandparents love in wales.Once when my sister was about 10 and me 8 at the most, my mum told us that the sheep born on the mountains have 2 legs shorter than the other and if they were put on flat land they'll keel over. Just 3 weeks ago when my sister was here for christmas (now 20) in a convosation, "yeah its like those sheep with 2 legs shorter than the other" to her boyfriend who looked at her like she was nuts. She still cat take it to be a joke.
Oh, and during the holidays my mum told me about how they had to break the news about santa to my sister before she started grammer school. After tones of tears and yelling "ok ok, I suppose I can believe santa doesnt exsit,(yeah right) but at least the tooth fairy does"
Idiot. She got another princess tiara for christmas. Shes 21 in april
