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'm not quite sure how I came to this conclusion....When I was little(er) for some strange reason, due to the sayings of my parents and my own deranged little mind, I believed babies were made when god saw two people getting married and made the woman pregnant. I doubt my mum would have even told me the truth if I hadn't been thumbing through my baby book and it had a thing saying "What to do when your child asks about babies". Before I found out, of course the word "sex" came up, but my parents got me to believe it was a crime and worse than murder. Oh, how sheltered I was...
