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.

Again, not parents but worthy of a laughMy girlfriend's sister is always good for winding up. Year before last she saw a green, unripe pumpkin in Asda. She pointed it out in amazement to which we told her all pumpkins are green and there's a mass industry painting them orange for Halloween each year.
She ended up asking her 8 year old's teacher...
