This happened when I was about 4 years old... My brother, who was about 1 yr. at the time was getting a bath from my mom. I accidently walked in on them because it was almost time for my bath. I then saw my brothers parts, and I saw they were different than mine. I thought there was something wrong with me because I didn't have a penis. And I actually thought if I started doing boy things, then I would "grow" one. Then my mom explained that I'm a girl and my brother's a boy, and that boys and girls have different parts. So, I learned about the difference between a male and a female at a really young age.
