Because my older sister sat down when she peed, I assumed that females eliminated all waste (pee AND poo) from their anus. I held this belief even though--at 13--a diagram of the female body in my health ed class had something on it called the "urethra." It still didn't register. (My female friends finally straightened me out one night during a "pressing matters" chat session, after laughing until they--quite fittingly--almost peed their pants.) I was 18!!!
