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 the same...My parents gave me the same answers to my toddler questions they would have given to an adult.
What's that building, Daddy?
It's a mill.
What's a mill?
It's a grindery for the processing of cereal products.
Thus, when it came time for my progress checkup, and the nurse took me to the park asking "Can you see the big duck? And all the baby ducks?" I replied;
"No, because that is a swan, and those are signets."
"You can take him home now." was the responce.
