I grew up with pets in the house. One afternoon I decided to ask my Aunt Mary if she was spayed.

When i was like 6 I heard a male friend say they had been hit in the nuts. I therefore assumed that male or female, if you got hit in the lower privates that they had been hit in the "nuts". My dad was quite to surprised to hear his little girl exclaim that she had been hit in the "nuts"...

I used to believe that boys and girls had the same parts under their clothes...until I saw my brother come out of the shower. I was confused for months.

My sister didn't understand penises and vaginas when she was little. When she saw my dad coming out of the shower without any clothes on she yelled "Dad, you're pooping!!!"

When I was about 7 or 8 years old, my next-door neighbor (about 13 at the time) tried to explain sex to me. Unfortunately, he gave me a very poorly worded description of a hymen by saying, "when a girl first has sex, a bone in her vagina breaks, and it hurts really bad." Of course, my inexperienced mind immediately assumed there was a cage of bones, like a ribcage, inside every woman's vagina. I had trouble understanding this anyway, so when I learned the truth several years later, it was a relief :) .

When I was 3, I used to think that "dawdling" was touching your private area. So my mom would say "Stop dawdling! We gotta go! " I would get upset and say "I'm not touching my wee wee!"

When I was little, I thought my mom didn't have a vagina, like me, I thought that she had a patch of hair instead of a vagina.

I used to think the umbilical cord was connected to the genitals of newly born babies, and that when the cord was cut the midwife had to be very careful-if the baby was a boy she might accidentally cut his penis off, and if the baby was a girl she might not cut enough off and there would be all this excess cord just dangling.

When my son was entering puberty, he realized a testicle had descended while he was taking a bath. He then proceeded to run out, screaming and covered in bubbles, "Dad! We need to go to the hospital, NOW! I have a tumor!" He then explained his discovery to me. "Oh no," I replied. "Get dressed and get in the car! Hurry!" I then took him to the hospital, but only to have the doctor explain it to him. Hey, I didn't want to do it!

I used to think that circumsicion is when they cut a girls penis off when she was born. I pictured it like "It's a girl! Now we have to cut her penis off, 'cuz that's just how we do things". I remember wondering why they had to do that, because it must have hurt to get it sliced off!

I used to think when babies were born that the parents would decide whether to make it a girl or a boy by chopping the umbilical cord to size. That is, if they wanted a girl they would cut the umbilical cord short (leaving only the clitoris -- which I thought was a tiny penis), and if they wanted a boy they would leave the umbilical cord as long as they wanted to make the penis.

When I was little, my mom told me that the place I pee out of was my "bottom".

As you might imagine, I got really confused later in life when I heard the word "bottom" used in other ways.

I remember once I was watching a movie, and a mom was talking to her son, and she said something like, "Tommy, if you don't do your homework I'm going to spank your bottom with a belt!"

Not only did I think that was completely AWFUL, I was like, "Boys can have bottoms, too?!"

So for a while I thought boys could have vaginas, and girl's could have penises, and it was only having boobs that determined your sex.

I used to believe men had to squeeze their penus to wee. I believed that when they needed the loo, they had to go or there bladders would explode! Otherwise how do you explain their need for the loo if they didn't wet themselves?
My dad explained to me at the age of 10 because of an innocent comment. But I think he had something to do with this belief...

When i was little my sister told me that no one had bum cracks. She said that one day God was chopping his vegtables and he dropped the knife. A man was bending down to pick something up and the knife cut him a crack. Every one loved it and decided to make there own. I thought this for years and i asked her how we had them as no one had cut our bums and she just laughed. She had me going for years.
