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.

I dont know if my mum told me this or notBut as a kid, i was convinced that Scampi was a sweeter version of chicken. I found out the truth a few years back.
Going back to fairys (mainly because of my sister, I never really 100% believed in them..
In the garage full of junk, there was a wooden box my mum said was magic, and so every few weeks we'd look in it and there'd be differet interesting old stuff in.
Aparrently according to my mum/sister, the faries lived under the shed so I spent manny scarry nights being dragged by sister dear about in the garden to shove letters and small dresses we made out of pick loo roll under the shed. My mum didnt like the fact that she also believed the faries 8hung out* in the side passage where the bins were and a rusty engine was kept.
