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.

Training WheelsMy boyfriend decided to help my neighbors son learn how to ride his bike without the training wheels. He told us not to get rid of them because he might want them back. Well, his mom threw them out anyhow. So after the lesson was done the little boy asked for them back, saying he wasn't ready to ride his bick All THE TIME with no training wheels. His mom told him that she couldn't find them. However, Michael, my boyfriend told him a story, that I thought was so cute. Here it goes... Training wheels are very special. They are givin to little kids to help them while they learn how to ride thier bikes. So when your training wheels saw you riding your bike so well without them, they realized it was time for them to move on. So they rolled down the street to go find a new little boy to help and the little boy replies "Somebody stole them?" Needless to say, he bought it and hasn't ask for them since.
