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.

Sad LisaWhen I was little, we had a sheep in our garden called Lisa. One day Lisa was gone and my dad said he had her taken to a herd with lots of other sheep so she could meet some friends.
We had roast lamb on the next weekend.
I didn't find out until christmas a couple of years later, when my dad said, we'll have a roast lamb for christmas dinner, "but it won't be as good as Lisa". I still cannot eat lamb today.
