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.

A few about my 'rents spliting up.Me, mum and my older sister walk on a path as a kid...
Mum/Sophie-Step on a crack and you'll break your back
Me-Step on a crack and you'll marry a monkey...
Mum-I stood on a crack once...
My dad moved out when I was about 3-6.
One thing that was a small part towards the divorce path was my dad tells how his grandfarther (or great) invented the cats-eyes on roads but the other guy stole the idea. Apparently they argued for years about it. My sister defended my dad as I did untill i heard from someone that a guy from a different country did it, my dad still believes. One grandfather of his Did make radios for ships and could have made the one in the titanic though (same company)
My mum and nanny still say looking mirrors when theres a lightning storm is dangerous. I dont but i don't know if its true.
