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 little I had a fish.He died. My parents consoled me and informed me he had had a proper burial in the garden. They even told me whereabouts he was. However, several years later I discovered he had in fact been unceremoniously flushed down the toilet. This panicked me slightly when the rabbit died.
One day my nan's mascara and eyeliner had gone a bit flaky, and, being little, I asked her what the black around her eyes was. She told me that Grandad had punched her. Thing was, I happily accepted this without question, even though my grandad is a sweet old man.
