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.

Society made me lieMy 3 year old came back from nursery full of all the Santa hokum. I don't want to lie to the wee guy about anything. But on the other hand I didn't want to make him the most miserable kid in school by telling that the fun stuff all the other kids are excited about is just a myth made up by toy manufacturers.
What could I do?
(on the other hand my guilt is assuaged by some of the stuff I've read here. I'll promise I'll never pull the ice cream van trick)
