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 don't think my parents really lied to meWhen I was 9 my dad told me a joke 'How do you get down of an Elephant?...you don't you get down off a duck'
I was 14 before I understood it.
My mum is the 4th oldest of 10 children, all of whom have blue eyes...except the youngest one. My mum told her she was found wrapped in blankets on the doorstep with a note begging my grandma to take her in...my mother even when so far as to write the note herself and age it by burning the edges etc...my auntie believed her until she was 15 years old
