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.

GerbilsI once had two gerbils, a girl and a boy. As you could probably guess, the had about 25 - 50 babies a year. You could also probably guess that my dad wasn't particularly happy about trying to find 'Warm, loving homes' for each and every one of them, as i always insisted he do (i was about 7 at the time). Eventually, after bad experiences after the first year and a half, these lovely black gerbils strangely disappeared. My dad told me that they had gone to a happy place in the sky where gerbils can have as many babies as they wish. It was only at the age of 13 that i found out that my dad has drowned my much - loved gerbils in the river near my house. I can still feel the pain.
