My friend once told me that when she was younger, in a spelling test a question was 'my favourite toy is my ........' my friend, hoping to spell beanies., as in beanie babies, spelt it penis. The school called her mum and had a chat to her aswell!
A childhood belief about spelling

others believed things like this

- My friend's mom told my friend's little sister thatI when a dog died, it went to a retirement home.— ellen
- My friend used to believe baby oil was made from babiesAnon
- I used to believe that a penis was called a bobby because my mum told me... I believed this until I was 15.— Patricia
- a friend of my little sister's had 4 older brothers, so she thought that when you got older you grew a penis!Anon
