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 remember...Watching the film "Witness" and asking my Dad afterwards what religon the people in it were (they were Amish, I know that now before you say)
"Mormon" he says
Then, a while later (i.e. years) a girl at school tells me she's going to become a mormon.
Cue big argument about her giving up electricity, buttons, etc, raising barns and riding around in horse-drawn buggies...
To this day I still don't know:
1) If my Dad deliberately lied, was honestly mistaken or didn't hear my question correctly
2) Anything about Mormons except what I've learnt from South Park...
