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.

My DadNot so much lies, as misunderstandings (by me or him):
All TVs have an atom bomb in them
People are regularly decapitated getting into helicopters
Eating sugar gives you worms
Burnt toast makes your hair curly
Pencil 'lead' really was lead, & if you chewed the end of your pencil it'd stunt your growth.
