A childhood belief about weeing and pooing

When I was younger, I had a bedwetting problem and my mother used to put one of those puddle-pads on my bed at night. I grew out of this by the time I was about six, and once when I was probably around eight or nine I was at my grandparents' house. My grandma was putting what looked like a puddle-pad on my bed, and, infuriated that she would assume I would wet the bed, I cried out:
"Hey! I don't need those any more, what are you doing?!"

She couldn't stop laughing and finally explained that it was just a cotton pad to make the mattress more comfortable.

— Doh!
