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.

Lies (Sweet Ones Though!)My Dad used to tell my sister & I, during woodland walks, that we shouldn't touch any of the fungus growing on tree trunks because we'd 'catch' the fungus & it'd then grow all over us.
Oh and Mum used to say that thunder was just God moving his furniture about.
If I ever have kids, then no doubt these stories will be resurrected!
