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.

well...my parents were always very truthful with me ... sometimes a little too truthful. sex, childbirth, and vaginas are and always have been regular dinner table conversation because my mum is a gynocologist. when i was in kindergarten, my friend brought pictures in of his new baby sister and one of the students asked how she got here. my teacher started telling the "stork dropped it on the door step" story. me, being the precocious child that i was, stood up and proceeded to tell the teacher that she was sorely mistaken and how it was really done. she jumped up and took me outside and said, "sophie, dear, it's not done like that here."
