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.

Just remembered thisNot really a lie per se, but my brother was a terrible baseball player when we were in elementary school so my dad would tell him alternately that he played baseball like Michael Jackson, or Elton John.
Me: "Daddy, I didn't know they played baseball."
Him: "Well, if they did, they'd play like your brother."
This is pretty funny to me now.
