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.

why?when I was younger my mother used to tell me that if I played with my belly button my bum would fall off I belived this for years, and even had a dream that my friends sisters bum fell off because she was playing with her belly button. when I was older (i.e last year sometime) I asked her why she used to tell me this, and she replied "its what my dad always told me"
When I was about 6 I noticed there was a random doorway in a alleyway we frequently walked down, I asked her who lived there, she said it was father christmas. I didnt question this as that door obiously led to the north pole.
I also used to have to open my christmas presents in my parents room, as I was scared of father chrismas coming into my room at night. I personally think its rather sencible not to want a random old man sneaking onto my room via the chimney when I was fast asleep in the middle of the night. I think my perents got fed up of me going into their room at 5.00 in the morning every chrismas so they just told me that it was all a big lie and that they put the presents in my room themself. This led me back to wondering who really did live through that doorway in the allyway.
