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.

The light on the foreheadI'm rotten, so I use this on my own kids.
"When you're lying, a light on your forehead comes on that only grownups can see." It gets to the point where kids will put a hand over their forehead as they tell a huge whopper of a lie. Just picture it for a moment. You tell the kid off for lying, then quietly take yourself off for a good laugh.
