When I was 4 I had an infant cousin who was a little boy. When he was getting his diaper changed I saw this bizarre wrinkly thing between his legs. I didn't have one so of course I thought it would eventually dry up and fall off (like a scab) and my cousin and would be normal.
After I found out that little boys got to keep their wrinkly gizmo I felt a little cheated but I'm not sure why.
