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.

Story from a teacher I had about ten years ago now...This teacher and his wife are a bit 'right-on'. When they had their first kid, they didn't want to feed him sweets and chocolate so they basically kept him away from the stuff. However, it didn't stop them feeding their faces every now and then.
When driving somewhere a distance away, if they had a chocolate bar themselves, they'd scoff it and pass the wrappers to the back of the car for the kid to play with. He didn't know there once was chocolate inside of 'em and thought his parents were just playing with bits of plastic.
