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.

Darling Mummy...whilst my wonderful mother was training to be a nurse she had a book with a picture of a person that was one of those pictures of your muscles. She told us if you chew gum your skin will go all stretched and showed us the picture.
I was terrified.
She also told us that in the winter there was a thing called a "square moon". if you saw the square moon you wouldn't get any christmas presents. I think this was a way of making us go to bed early. Icarried on believing this until I was seven at which point my older sister revealed the truth. Parents eh?
