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.

When i was a kidI had these construction toys where you made stuff with big interlocking coloured transparent octagon things (what the hell was that called?).
I always made them into the shape of space rockets which my dad would steal and then leave on the table the following day with some weird substance that he would claim to be a piece of the moon, sun, mars etc that the rocket had been to collect... I blindly believed him and remember getting into some quite heated arguments in infant's school with the many doubting fools. Quite sweet really...
(Well, the toy was called 'Octons' thanks for all the mails :p )
