When I was lil I believed that you developed *ahem* breasts as soon as you put a bra on, and it didn't matter if you were a male or a female. I was sOo convinced of this because every night when my mom or aunt would take their bras off before they went to bed -it would appear that their boobs had shrunk!! I still believed this even after I got my first training bra - I would REFUSE to take it off before I went to bed, because I wanted my boobs to be big and I didn't want them to ever shrink. It took me YEARS to realize that my mom and aunt were wearing push-up or padded bras!!
