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.

A few lies from when I was a liddle boy1. "Deep inside your belly button there's a screw, and if you undo that screw, your bum falls off" (Verbatim quote)
2. "That smell is incense. Go to bed" (on coming downstairs aged 5 to get a glass of water: in hindsight I realise they were stoned out of their trees)
3. "It's wrong to feed your sister paperclips" (We are both adults now, and evidence continues to suggest that perhaps it was the right thing to do)
