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.

My dear mumused to tell me that if I sucked my thumb it would never grow any bigger.
To prove this to me she would show me her own thumb and point out how it was smaller than the rest of her fingers - this was apparently because she had also sucked her thumb as a child.
I remember being slighty dubious about this claim, but it made me stop sucking my thumb.
