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.

I'm not a parent butMe and a mate told his little brother that he had won a competition to go to lapland and meet the real santa. We were about 12 and he was about 6. We got him to pack his bags with everything he thought he would need and to write a biiig long christmas list as Santa could give him anything he wanted from his factory. We walked him to the train station (picture him with his lunchbox in one hand and a sleeping bag draped over his shoulder) and he really beleived that he was off to meet Santa until the moment we sent him up to the ticket office to ask for a "ticket to lapland to santa's palace" and the bloke behind the counter pissed himself laughing. The tears didn't stop until the middle of the next week and there were some recriminations from the mother, I can tell you.
