When I was little, my mom finally told me about what was going on 'down there' when I went to the bathroom. For the longest time, I thought that the urethra (or however you spell it :/ ) was called your Aretha, as in Aretha Franklin, the singer. I still can't keep a straight face whenever I hear that name!
Also, this is not really a belief, but, when I was around 3 years old, whenever I had to go to the bathroom, wherever I was I would pull my pants and underwear, or drawers if you're British, and THEN run to the bathroom. I have no clue whatsoever why I did this. We even have pictures which I'm sure my mom will make use of when I bring my first serious boyfriend home...
