My mother had convinced my brother and me that, if we played with fire during the day, we would wet our beds at night... we would laugh at her, but you wouldn't catch us playing with matches if our lives depended on it...!

I used to believe there were tiny people inside of you that would put you pee and poop in buckets attached to a looped conveyor belt and that explained how it all came out :)

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

Dobby

I used to believe that the earth was in this large toilet bowl and that when it rained it was God that peeing on us.

Jennifer

I used to think boys went "number two" with their pee pees.

I used to think if White peoples poo was brown, then brown people's poo was white.

I used to believe pee was stored in your stomach and poo was stored in your back.

Up until about six, I use to believe that everyone had a different color of pee and I was stuck with yellow.

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
