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.

My motherWhen I was about 3, poured me a bowl of Rice Crispies and said "Listen, they're talking to you!" I started crying and said I couldn't eat them if they were going to talk to me. Twenty years later, I still can't bring myself to eat Rice Crispies. I had WAY too active an imagination for something like that.
My aunt used to tell my mother, nine years younger, that their real mother was a princess who would come to pick them up eventually. My mother spent hours waiting by the window.
