When I was very little, we had a friend from Germany visiting at my grandma's. I went into the bathroom once and someone had forgotten to flush. The water was red, and I didn't know about periods at the time, so I used my youthful logic to conclude that German people must pee red, and went on with my life without giving it a second thought.
