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.

JellyMy dad was making individual jellies for a birthday party in clear plastic cups. he was doing it in layers, green red and purple.
I was little about 4 or 5, and asked him what the red layer was.
He told me he had cut his finger, and it had bled in the jelly.
I refused to eat any jelly at my birthday party :(
He also had a plastic press thing, that you put hard boiled eggs in and it made them square. he used to tell me he had square chickens at work that layed square eggs. For years I believed that.
