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.

This one always stuck with me...When I was ten or so, I needed to talk to Mom about something, and she and Dad were nowhere to be found. I thought I'd try their bedroom, and barged in. My father had his pants around his ankles, and my Mom was leaning over his midsection. After they shouted, "Get the hell out of here!" and I ran, my Mom told me that my father had a large, painful pimple that needed to be "popped" down there. Perfectly plausible then, and a hilarious excuse today.
