weeing and pooing

When I was a little girl, a playmate once told me that it is a sin to poop on Sundays. I believed it for the longest time. There were times when I really tortured myself trying to hold back a "BM" on Sundays, and even a few times I remember shitting my pants trying to do so. Even now as a grownup, there are occasions when an urge to poop comes on late enough Sunday night that I'll try to hold it back until after midnight!

When I was a little kid, I knew that girls sat down to pee. So, naturally, I thought they peed out of their butts. I was in disbelief when I learned that there was *somthing else* down there!

i used to think guys had to squeeze their penises in order to pee. i got really confused when a kid in my 2nd grade class peed his pants.

I used to believe that if somebody peed in the pool there was a chemical that would turn the water purple and everyone would know who it was.

my best friend convinced his sister that when you reached puberty, you pooed out your mouth, just once.

she was 11

I used to think that germs just grew on your hands when you went for a poo, I didn't realise that wiping was the reason we washed our hands.

When I was little,I believed our toilet was alive and would drink our pee and eat our poop.I feed it tissue paper as a treat

I remember drinking red kool aid and peeing at the same time. I was expecting it to be red.

I don't remember exactly how we even started talking about it, but I discovered my boyfriend at the time thought girls peed out the 'back'. I was his second girlfriend he'd been 'intimate' with, and he was 20 years old. couldn't believe it... I told him girls aren't some weird birdlike species

One time I told my younger sister that she has an extra bladder called the "Laughing Bladder". I told her that the function of this bladder was to make her go pee every time she laughed and that it was a condition that only she had. She totally believed me and was asking my dad all about it.

when i was little I believed that you got diarrhea because a little ninja was inside your butt, cutting up the poop really quickly and making it all come out

When I was little (under the age of 5) I thought that a persons poop was the same color as their skin. And since I am African American, I would always want to see the poop of a person of a different race,

When I was little I thought girls didn't pee. My Mummy told me girls didn't have willies, so how could they right?

I used to think that if you did a wee in a holiday pool at night, it would glow in the dark and everyone would see.

I used to believe that if I didn't hold my belly button in when I pooped it would pop out. Turns out I can poop just fine with out doing so.

When I was in the third grade, the most popular girl in the class, who was also the teacher's pet, rarely spoke to me. On the exceptional occasions when she did, I must have considered it a supreme honor and clung tightly to every word. One time she told me that girls poop out of a hole in their sides rather than out their behinds. I naturally believed that for a long time. I think I felt gratified to learn that such an icon as she apparently had to poop at all. Since I never saw inside a girls' bathroom, I never figured out how their toilets would be designed to accomidate that manner of pooping.

I am told that when I was two years old I was taken on a trip through several US states, to visit my grandparents. I had no trouble that time since I didn't yet know about there being different states in the US. But shortly after I first learned about the states of the US, my family was on an overnight trip to an adjacent state. As we were nearing the motel where we were to stay there, I had to poo real bad but I told nobody because I was afraid that maybe people didn't poop in the state we were in. I tried real hard to hold it in and thought I had succeeded. But I had to find out otherwise in the worst possible way. When we got to the motel and I was getting ready for bed and had taken off my pants but still had my panties on, my sister announced loudly to everybody, "Yvonne doo dood in her pants!" Yep, I'm afraid I had pooped and made most of the seat of my panties brown! I was petrified for fear I'd done something that one just didn't do in that stste!

i used to believe when i was little that if somebody's wee was still in the toilet and then you wee'd on top of it it would make an explosion which would shoot up in the air because of the chemicals mixing up!!

I used to think (when I was 4,5, or 6) that pads were for people who couldn't make it to the bathroom in time, so when my mom told me she would tell me what they were for when I was older, I thought she was just embarassed that she had them.
