weeing and pooing

I use to believe (thanks Mom) that if I played with fire I would wet the bed.

We were told that if we peed in the pool you would get a red ring around your waste. Many frantic rushes to get out of the pool before it was too late.

When I was little, I used to think that there were little gremlins in my stomach that used gears to push out my poop. When I couldn't poop, I used to tell my parents that my "gears weren't working". Sometimes, I would encourage the little men by saying things like "you can do it!"

When I was a kid my sister told me that girls poop out of their belly buttons, and that their buttholes are reserved for having babies, that being where the babies come out. I was in college before I first suspected that girls might poop out of their butts.

I used to believe that if you kept food I your mouth for too long without swallowing, it would turn into poop. I always made sure to chew and swallow as fast as possible.

All through preschool I would pretty much only drink white grape juice and assumed the reason my pee was the yellowish color it was, was a result of the yellowish juice. One day while at my grandparents house i drank a big glass of purple kool-aid, then ran to the bathroom. I was very disappointed when my pee did not come out purple

I used to think dog poop in parks was poop from homeless people, because i didnt know animals could poop too

I thought that if you continuously drank water while peeing it would pass right through you allowing you to go endlessly, as long as you kept drinking glasses of water. Peeing without ceasing. I guess that was my endgame.

up until i was about 15 my 2 sisters and i used to believe that pretzels would soak up the pee so on road trips so we would stop complaining...thanks mom :)

I used to think that there was a special extra organ in your body that held your poo in the shape that it comes out in, so it was like pre-made poo!

I used to think the reason our pee was yellow was because gnomes lived inside us stirring in pinesol inside of a big cauldron.

My little brother thought that tears and pee were the same thing. He thought he cried out urine.

My mother convinced me for most of my childhood that if I didn't pee when I had to, I would explode...just like her "friend" Susie! Years later, she admitted she made it all up just so my sisters and I would go to the bathroom before we left the house.
