When I was younger, having never actually seen a male foreskin, I believed that circumcision involved the removal of part of the glans of the penis (i.e. the little bit on the end that makes it look like a mushroom).
Thus I believed that I was uncircumcized until a Jewish friend disabused me of the notion by telling me his looked the same as mine. Little kids think weird things, right?
We were in 9th grade.
