A childhood belief about weeing and pooing

When I was in the third grade, the most popular girl in the class, who was also the teacher's pet, rarely spoke to me. On the exceptional occasions when she did, I must have considered it a supreme honor and clung tightly to every word. One time she told me that girls poop out of a hole in their sides rather than out their behinds. I naturally believed that for a long time. I think I felt gratified to learn that such an icon as she apparently had to poop at all. Since I never saw inside a girls' bathroom, I never figured out how their toilets would be designed to accomidate that manner of pooping.
