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.

PaintI came home from school one day to find paint all over the sofa and carpet. Mum said that she had been decorating but managed to knock the paint off the step ladder.
Dad seemed pretty angry about the fact that our lives were being disrupted while these people came in and changed all the carpets and that he no longer had his favourite seat.
I found out later that it was all just an insurance scam and they were both in on it. And my aunty and uncle. And my gran.
Lying bastards!
