Lies Your Parents Told You
I 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.

Not exactly a lie, (she believed it)
Before bed, my gran would go round her house making sure every electric plug was in it's socket. When asked why:
"To stop the electricity leaking out"
Like I said, it confused me when I was 5, but i think by about 6 1/2 I'd figured out that my gran was nuts.
