When I was little I learned that if you ate too many beets, your pee would turn red. So I thought that when girls grew up, they would suddenly have a craving for beets (my mum loves beets) every month and lose bladder control.
I also though that pads were adult diapers, and tampons were for periods. I also thought you wear a tampon horizontally.
