A childhood belief about rude bits

I used to believe that if you made a penis out of clay and put it on your crotch it would stick and you would become a boy. I asked for clay for christmas and tried to make one. I of course was disappointed when it didn't work. I thought maybe it was because I hadn'y made it right so I kept making one over and over again. Well, it did look a little more like a worm than anything else anyway.
