A childhood belief about swimming pools

At my preschool, we used to go to the local pool every friday. It was a small school, only about ten kids... anyways. We thought boys had some weird disease, and that if they touched us, we'd turn into boys. At the pool, they'd always be on one side, we'd be on the other... we decided to have a 'war'. The boys splashed water on us. I convinced every girl there that if we put our arms out and spin fast enough in the water, we'd create water tornadoes that would wipe them out.
Everyone believed me, but we just spun around there looking like little morons!
