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.

Cow PaintingI've just remembered another one, my Sisters Kids all believed that my Dad painted cows for a living, and that he travelled all around the country to do so.
We used to go past fields of friesians and the car would erupt with "Grandad! There's a field you haven't finished yet!"
