In elementary school a rumor circulated about this one boy, Jared. One of my friends told me he had a "boner." I asked what a boner was, and she said, it was like when a lizard sheds all its skin in giant scales, like molting or something, with a boy's penis. Apparently Jared had done this sort of thing in class. And a bunch of people believed it! (Including me)
