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 parents didn't tell me this,it was inflicted upon someone else, but is still true... this is the horrifying story of the ice cream van:
George had just woken up in his humble cottage in a quaint little english village. He went downstars to have breakfast and after much deliberation, went with weetabix as his choice above cheerios.
Was this choice going to come back to haunt him?
No, weetabix IS the better cereal and it was therefor the correct decision. Smart boy George was!
Anyway, back to the story. George was eating his weetabix with a ladel (he liked ladels) when he heard a bizarre tune ring out.
It reminded him of children being happy. He was puzzled. Was this sound about to change his life? Is weetabix really better than cheerios? Where was this sound coming from?
His Mum walked in.
'Mum, is that sound about to change my life?' to which his mother replied,
'No.'.
'Mum, is weetabix really better than cheerios?' to which his mother replied,
'That's a matter of opinion'.
'Where was that sound coming from?' to which his mother replied...................................................................................................................................
'Oh, that's just the vegetable van'
