Lies Your Parents Told You
I 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.

I had a book called "where do babies come from"...
... and in it, it said somethng along the lines of "in your ovaries are tiny little eggs about the size of these dots ..."
From then on I thought everyone had just 3 eggs (I had 2 bros, that added up), I mentioned it to my mum to confirm it and she nodded and said "yes dear" so I believed it. That was until I found out that when you have your period you're flushing out unused eggs. That put me into a panic cos I thought I was wasting my eggs and would never be able to have babies!
