When I was 10, being Scottish, my dad told me the story about how a haggis is an animal that lives in the mountains and has three legs - two long and a short one at the other side, so it can run round the side of the mountains easily. Next day at school, we were discussing wildlife that was unique to Scotland - I decided to retell the story of the haggis, much to my friends' delight and my embarrassment. I'm 24 now and I've nearly forgiven him for ruining what little street cred I had!
