When I was very young, I apparently had a dream where my mom told me that penises were called "uddies" - some sort of bizarre diminutive form of "udder". It made sense to me at the time. I mean, I was pretty familiar with cows, living in Wisconsin as I did, and a penis seemed pretty similar to a cow's teat to ME. Pink, squirts liquid... I believed this for AGES because, well, it made a twisted sort of sense.
Then my mom found out and laughed at me, and insisted that I must have dreamed her telling me. I was really mad at her for a while, because I was SURE she had told me that.
