when i was younger, say 4 or 5, i use to think that the male's (unmentionable) was the same exact thing as your thumb wondered why it was (there). i asked my father why he has three thumbs, two on his hands and one (down there). he told me in a few years, i'll understand. i asked my friend that same question and he said "Why don't you know? I thought everyone had one." But, in a few years, i "understood."

-And so did my friend-

When I was young, I used to think that my clitoris was a small penis, and I was then always afraid to be caught naked because I knew that a female have a penis was...wrong, and I figured that I'd have to get surgery to remove it before it grew full-size. (I was always afraid of the prospect of having surgery.

i used to belive that showing ur undies was a sign of power and the better undies ur have the better vagina/penis u have.( so embarrassing and childish).......

when I was little, I would see my mother had breasts along with all adult females. somehow I was too stupid to make the connection, and I assumed it was something exclusive to the grownups I knew. I never thought they were something all women developed with time. needless to say, I did end up getting breats myself and now know that they arent some strange thing the adults I know have

i believed until i was about five that as people grew into adulthood they sometimes changed sex, their genitals either shrinking or growing into the opposite sex. i used to study my dad (naked) and mum (ditto) and it just seemed that it was something that was quite likely to happen........... weird! strangely though i didnt expect to change into a guy..... was quite sure i would always remain female - and i have!. lol

When I was little I used to think my cousin could take his penis off when he wanted to. I thought he would have it off when at home and put it on to come to our house, or if we were going to his house he would put it on before we got there. He is a year older than I am.

When my sister was younger, she couldn't pronounce words very well. Me, my mom, and her were playing trivial pursuit when she my sister was about 10. Her job (cause she didn't like playing) was to read all the answers to me and my mom. We couldn't quite figure out what a pe-neese (accent on the neese) was....until we looked at the card and it said penis.

I used to believe that I'd grow a foreskin after puberty. What a disappointment (or blessing).

When I was a little girl I would mimick my mother by "nursing" my baby dolls. I held a very firm belief that one of my child sized breasts held orange juice and the other one held milk.

My friend's 6 year old son recently came up to me and asked me if I knew why girls don't have penises. I asked him why, and he said, "Grandpa says that they played with them too much and they fell off!"

I used to think that (after seeing my mum topless) that all women's breasts were supposed to sag (i thought "falling") so when I grew breasts I always was waiting for them to "fall". I now realise I wanted to be saggy!

I used to belive that intestines and testicals were the same thing until like 2 years ago
