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.

PigsMy mother told me that that one song.. 'standing in the middle of the road with my past behind me' really said 'pants'. I found the truth a long time later.. in public. Also, she told me that adults didn't have bellybuttons, because I kept asking to see hers. She also told me she was 80 when I was about 5. I told my teacher, and was punished for lying. She took lying to her children for a sport, and still does it constantly. Not really to stop us from doing anything- just believable (to me) tidbits like 'Hamlet? Oh.. that means a young pig.."
