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.

Not really a lie, but bloody confusing non the less...My parents, like many others tended to refer to their friends as "Aunty/Uncle" whatever, which meant I ended up thinking I had quite an extended family. I remember the conversation I had with my elder brothers when I was about 15 where I went through a list of "aunties" and discovered that I only actually had one.
I'm not usually that gullible either.
