My parents convinced my sister that haggis was a scottish creature. There were two types of haggis. The low-land haggis was long and thin with short legs so they could hide in rabbit holes when being hunted. The highland haggis was round and fat with the left hand legs longer than the right. The reason for this was so the haggis could stand on the side of hills comfortably and the way you would catch them is by chasing them from in front so that they'd turn around and fall over and two men would be waiting at the bottom of the hill with nets to catch them.

When I was 3 or 4 my older sister would always press the correct bump on the top of fast food drink lids (Coke, Diet, Other) to mark which was hers. When I asked her what she did it for, she told me some bumps made the straw harder to drink out of. Everytime I pressed mine down she told me it was the wrong one, but someday I would get it right.

About the age of 7, whenever my mum drank tea/coffee, i asked her if i could have some and she used to reply

Around the age of six, I got a piece of gum stuck in my hair... my mom got it out using peanut butter. This made me jump to the conclusion that peanut butter was NOT a food, but gum-remover. I was shocked to see my best friends eating 'hair remover' sandwiches at lunch the next day...
I used to think that red wine was made out of squeezed purple grapes mixed with alcohol. and i didnt understand why red wine doesn't even have a grape taste.

One day as a child, my mother and I were sitting down to eat in a small diner. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich which came with a pickle. I picked up the pickle and asked my mother, "Mommy, what animal do pickles come from?"

To get me to eat my veggies, my mom told me that rabbits could see really well in the dark, like night vision, because they ate so many carrots. I would watch my pet rabbit, Ozzy, at night to see if he did anything special with his night vision. His eyes glowed red so I got very excited.
The next day I ate a ton of carrots and stayed up past dark trying to see if my eyes would glow red.
