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.

When I was fiveI got a puppy for my birthday. Shortly thereafter, I was told she was given away to some people who lived on a farm so she would have more room to run around.
Around age 25, still believing this I asked my father to which farm he had sent the dog. He laughed and said, "A farm in the sky."
Turns out the dog had incurable mange and had to be put down.
Also he used to threaten when I was misbehaving that I would have to take a dose of a particularly bad tasting cough syrup which I stupidly believed he kept in the fridge. For years.
