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.

Family Gang upsAt our traditional family christmas lunches, dad and my 4 uncles would make sure us kids didn't eat all the nice food. Especially strawberries.
One uncle would start by saying "Strawberries give you freckles!" Then the next would jump in and say "Yeah they turn you into little strawberries!". But, of course, it was safe for them because they had taken medicine to make them immune to the deadly strawberry poison.
I was 7 before I learnt the truth, and 10 before I ate another strawberry
Bastards!
