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.

Fairies in the sprinklersWhen I was about 2-3 years old my dad used to tell me to go look in the head of the sprinkler for fairies. Happily I would toddle off, bend down and try and look inside - then my sweet dear father would turn the sprinkler on.
I actually do remember running up the garden in just a diaper crying my eyes out, as he lay on the grass pissing himself with laughter.
Can I just point out that to my dad's neverending amusement I didn't fall for this just once... oh no.... several times he got me.
