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 can't read speech bubblesWhen me and my brother Weasal were little, our mum use to buy us comics (now we have to buy our own) but she would never read them to us as
she said she "couldn't read the words in the speech bubbles", poor mum we thought for many years, she must have dyslexia (and a very rare form to boot, as she managed to read everthing else)
Later she confessed, she could read properly, she just didn't want to do the different voices (this is one of the many reasons she not getting grandkids!)
