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.

Lying GoitsWhen I was a kid my dad told me that electricity pylons were actually called "lifters" and were used in extreme car crashes to lift wrecks off roads. Scared the hell outta me.
Also when I asked about why i had no money from the tooth fairy, he told me that there was no tooth fairy, but that Mr Jack (my goldfish) crawled out of his tank at night and stole the teeth. I hated that fish from then on until i found out the truth and then I had the biggest guilt trip.
Bastards.
