When I was about 10 I somehow thought that the old fashioned foil-wrapped cubes of soapy stuff used by my Dad for shaving were actually called pubes and the reason why the boys at school were embarassed to talk about them was that they were scared of shaving. I explained it all to my mates too, so that they knew what pubes were - I think they thought it was true……...
A childhood belief about rude bits
