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.

Safeways? Aliens?!My mother once told me that "all babies came from safeways" (we used to shop at Asda so I never found out this was a lie untill I was 5..) and when ever I played up she'd tell me that "she still had the receipt, and the man on the till said she could return me when ever she wanted and get an exchange". Also (this wasnt so much a lie as stupidity on my part) in a trying to be humorous way after my brother had done something mindlesly stupid she said "He's from another planet" to which I took completely literally and I honestly believed for 1 whole year that my brother was indeed an alien.
P.S. sorry if there are bad spelling mistakes, but my grandma lives in a tree...
