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.

WizardryOK, I'm not a parent, but sod it . . .
When I was at primary school I told a friend of mine that I was magical and was going to send him to another dimension to retrieve my magic wand. He was religious and got rather upset. Being a persistent little bastard, rather than admitting I was lying I simply told him it would be OK because it'd only be for a few seconds before he came back. He ran away.
