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.

Up Until YesterdayI believed (for like 15 years... I'm 24) that the reason my uncle and his wife split was because she wanted to get a sex change, and that her name went from Charlene to Charlie. I also remember being told that she'd left him for another woman.
I'm not sure how this came up in conversation with my dad when he called me yesterday, or why they'd tell me something like that??
In other lies, my grandfather was a raging alcoholic (again, why lie??) and my grandmother had 3 ovaries.
