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.

CloudsWhen I was about 6 by brother ( OK its not my dad but he was older ) told me on a car journey that power stations create clouds, seeing the cooling towers spew clouds into the sky convinced me and I never questioned it.
When doing the water circulation diagram thing at school years later, I told the teacher she was wrong cos until that day I had no cause to question him.
