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.

NoseMy mum and nan told me that if I didn't keep my inquisitive 5-year-old fingers out of my nose, they would take me to the medical centre and the Nostril Nurse would sew them shut. Mostly they told me this as we were walking past the medical centre in question.
And yes, she also convinced me that a Haggis was an animal like a big hedgehog that you had to keep in the bath so it didn't roll into a ball and get away... why would i doubt my own mother??
It didn't slow me down that much though, as i got my conditional offer for uni today... i think... unless it's her again...
