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.

From November......To 24th December, I convinced my five year old son that I knew Santa pretty well. So well in fact, I showed my son (CJ) my mobile phone, and I had saved Santa's number in memory, as simply picking up the phone and pretending to speak to Santa didn't fool him, he had to see me find the number, and the phone had to be lit up for the duration of the call. I would call Santa every time he was naughty, and ask him to take 1 - 5 presents off him, depending on the severity of the situation. I also told him that one year Santa did not come to me, and I was the only child in the whole world who didn't get a single present at Christmas, and I cried all day.
I love Kids.
We also regularly browse through catalogues and shops near his birthday and say things like 'oooh, he'd love that Barbie car. We'll get him that' and he goes batshit insane when we do that.
I got him the Ninja Turtles sewer for Christmas. I love it.
