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.

When I was youngI used to believe in Father Christmas, but one day I asked my dad why I wasn't allowed in the spare room for all of December.
"Because your Christmas presents are in there." he replied without thinking.
I then asked him about this, because to my knowledge, Father Christmas used to deliver my pressies, down the chimbly, with a reindeer pulled sleigh.
As it turns out (from his explanation), my Mum and Dad used to buy all my presents from the shops, give them to Father Christmas, who would then take them back to the North Pole, and deliver them back on Christmas Morning.
Being 4 years old I never questioned this logic...
