I remember watching George of the Jungle with my older cousin (a girl) when I (a boy) was very young, and I asked her why George had boobs. She hesitated for a moment, then told me it was because he had long hair. For years I believed that I could grow boobs by growing my hair out. Of course, I never wanted to 'cause then I'd be a girl!
I also, like many other young boys, believed that girls had penises too.
