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.

For me it is reverseSure, my dad told me plenty of crap, mostly like what a sign on the road said. An example of this is when he wanted to spend some time with me one day so he decided to take me to see the rocketeer movie and i really didnt want to. we were in the car and didnt talk for a few minutes, but then i got curious and started asking him what a few signs said. he told me that one of them said "Dad and Robbie need to go see the rocketeer right now" i was 6 but believed it, saw it, and loved it. Also, while im on movies, my mother told me that after i went to see batman returns there would be a stand sellign all the action figures and i got so pumped up and talked about it constantly and when we finally went to see it i hardly paid attention to the movie and when we wlaked out i about screamed. there was no stand. i was fucking pissed. i dont remeber what i did after that.
BUT, as i said, for me it is reverse. My mother is one of the most gullible people on earth. An example of this is when this summer my best friend and I had jsut gotten back from a day of great paintball and she was asking all this stuff about it. it was a long car ride back and it got a bit annoying so i told her that this one kid who she had said looked suspicious (hes a goth with a bike and a jacket that says "born in sin") had brought this gun that shot out little mini saw blades. i was basically describing unreal tournament's "ripper". She got really freaked out and asked his last name so she could call his parents. i went on to tell her that he had been shooting at us with them and that a tree had actually gotten sliced in two right beside me. now, this is normally when someone goes "nuh uh" but she goes "oh my god!" i then proceeded to show her a cut on my leg that was bleeding and said tht he had done it. after a while, we told her the truth and after she cursed me for 20 mins i told her that i actually hadnt been lying and that the truth was actually a lie. she fell for the same thign all over again. it was great. i have some more good stuff but im watching pirates of the caribbean and it has most of my attention.
