When I was nearing my 5th birthday, may 8 year old sister told me ALL babies are born with a penis, but when children turn 5, half of them loose their penises and become girls. I wanted to remain a boy, so for several weeks prior to, and several weeks following my 5th birthday, I used packing tape to hold my penis on.
