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.

Ice Cream VanEvery Thursday the ice cream van would come down the road, playing that tune that i learnt to despise. Most children back then loved the tune whereas i was left feeling bitter and angry. The reason of course was the lie. "When the ice cream man plays his tune it means he's run out of everything".....arrrghh.
