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 fatherOnce told my cousin James he was born with a tail and my grandmother had it kept in a wooden box in her room. He bought a racoon tail at the county fair and showed it to my cousin, telling him it was his. I wonder what happened to him. Poor Kid
My mother told me if I ate too much ketchup, I'd die, so I ate a whole bottle full and nothing happened.
My father told me if i did't go to bed, he'd sell me to the make-up companies to test products on. I was afraid of lipstick for years after that, I recall making my sister taste it before I'd put it on.
I also recall being afraid of sheep, one tried to eat my dress at the petting zoo. My dad told me it was cause' the sheep was drunk off of Woolite and sheep are mean drunks.
