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.

When I was littleI used to piss around after bedtime, playing with toys and stuff, reading, anything to avoid going to sleep. Every time my mother would shout up the stairs and tell me to stop it and go to bed. She told me that all the neighbours on the opposite side of the street were her spies and could see through the curtains. In actual fact I think it was the fact that I was jumping down off the top of my bunk-bed each night that tipped her off.
I wasn't the sharpest tool in the box.
