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.

When I was in primary schoolour teachers were doing a sociology experiment and told us that there was a fatal, highly contagious disease in the school and we'd been quarantined and wouldn't see our families again. They then told us to write letters to our friends and families "on the outside".
It backfired when most of the kids panicked and burst into tears before they could do any work. Everyone spent the whole day scared shitless thinking they wouldn't see their families again.
We were eight at the time.
