When my cousin was about 5 years old, and I was 17, I had a green leather coat. Driving past a field of cows one day, she asked me how we got green leather, so I told her that cows came in all colours of the rainbow, but the colourful ones lived in underground bunkers so the normal cows didn't get jealous. She went home and old her mum this, and when she laughed and told her I was winding her up, she went in a huge huff at her mum for lying to her and wouldn't talk to her until I confessed!
