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.

For years my mom tried to convince methat there was this god that saw everything we did and who sat in judgment of us. Then she said that he had a mortal son named Jesus who had died for my sins and that I should try to emulate him and live a life of humility, chastity and poverty. What a load of crap! When I was really little I used to be very upset when I saw horses being ridden in movies or pulling wagons and people hitting them with whips. My parents assured me that they were hitting the ground next to the horses, or the leather of the saddle.
