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.

Tooth FairyI was told that if I woke up in the night after placing my tooth under the pillow for the aforementioned fairy, she would remove ALL my teeth and not give me the customary 20p either.
My Parents variously told me that eating broad beans/cabbage/sprouts/crusts of bread would make your hair curl. They seemed to think this was a good thing, in actual fact I had curly hair as a child and my greatest wish was to have nice straight hair like the other kids.
Oh - and in response to an earlier post, Lesbians come from Lesbos (Greece) not Lesbia :p (yes it is a real place, yes the natives really are called Lesbians).
