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 dad once said......that he knew one of the actors off "All Creatures Great and Small", and that if I was good for a month he would arrange it so that I could get to put my arm up a cow's bum, like they did in that program, because he knew I really wanted to do it. Don't ask me why. Sadly, it never materialised, because it was obviously a lie.
Also, my next door neightbour was in the RAF, and he told me that one day he'd pick me up in the morning and fly me to infant school in a Harrier jump jet. I told ALL of my friends, who for some time sceptically asked me when it was going to happen. It was years later when I found out that my neighbour was only a chef.
