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.

My Neice's BellybuttonQuite a popular myth this one - and evidence that these lies get passed down..
Last year the Headmaster at my 11 year old neices school was asking the kids in assembly if they knew any proverbs - after giving a few examples "a stitch in time saves nine" etc.
My neice's hand shot up and the Headmaster asked her to stand up and tel the whole school.
"My mummy says if you play with your bellybutton......."
She was the laughing stock of the whole school.
