When I was younger I was really proud of the fact that I could hold it in longer than my dad... He told me that if I didn't go, the pee or poop would go into my bloodstream and I'd die. My brother and I were horrified we believed it up until a few days ago when we told our mom. She was like "that's a lie it won't back up into your bloodstream why do you listen to your father?" Man I was so embarrassed I'm 14 he had me believing that for eight years...
