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.

tart partsA girl in the year above at my primary school went round telling all the kids that when she grew up she wanted to be a prostitute.
I asked my mum what prostitute meant (I was 9).
She said it was someone who sold parts of their body for money.
So when all my friends asked me (because I'd asked a grown up), I said
"Its someone who sells their arms and legs."
For quite some time I wondered how you could grow back lips.
And for that same time I had a slightly twisted outlook on the paraplegic kids at the disabled school next door.
