When I was about 6 years old my family went out to eat at some seafood restaurant. My dad ordered scallops and he told me that they were shark fin. So I always believed him until I was about 12 and in school we were doing a project about sea life and I then learned that scallops are a shellfish. HA! Rescently when we went out to eat, he got scallops again, and my little brother tried one and was like "Waiter, can I have some shark fin?" it was the funniest because he [u]really[/u] thought scallops were from shark!
