When I was little, my mom told me that the place I pee out of was my "bottom".
As you might imagine, I got really confused later in life when I heard the word "bottom" used in other ways.
I remember once I was watching a movie, and a mom was talking to her son, and she said something like, "Tommy, if you don't do your homework I'm going to spank your bottom with a belt!"
Not only did I think that was completely AWFUL, I was like, "Boys can have bottoms, too?!"
So for a while I thought boys could have vaginas, and girl's could have penises, and it was only having boobs that determined your sex.
