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.

I was a little shit !This isn't so much a lie, more a misunderstanding... My Dad thought (When I was about 5) that the "Straight approach" was a good idea after I'd asked him how I came into being.Of course he tried to simplify the whole process for my little mind to grasp.
A day or so later I returned from playgroup triumphantly wielding a picture that I'd painted of my Mum sitting on the toilet smiling... with me dropping out of her arse.

I was also once taking a car ride with my Grandfather on the way back from Gt Yarmouth .
We drove past a graveyard (I had a vague notion of what death was) so I asked him if thats where he'd be one day & he replied "No, they're going to put me in a fire" This immediately conjured up images of a bunch of adults slinging my kicking & struggling Grandand onto a bonfire.I was inconsolable & howled all the way home.
