body functions: weeing and pooing

I was told in my freshman year of high school that it was not possible to have an erection and also urinate. For quite a while I was very proud of my penis size, knowing full well that if I was able to pee... it wasn't at its full length.

My mother used to call going pee - having to 'tinkle', and going poo,
having to make a 'bm'. Now I work for IBM and it always make me
laugh when I say it. Thanks Mom!

As a child I somehow came to the conclusion that it was impossible to pee and poo at the same time. Twenty-five years later, I still occasionally catch myself squeezing both out at once just to prove that I can.

Because my older sister sat down when she peed, I assumed that females eliminated all waste (pee AND poo) from their anus. I held this belief even though--at 13--a diagram of the female body in my health ed class had something on it called the "urethra." It still didn't register. (My female friends finally straightened me out one night during a "pressing matters" chat session, after laughing until they--quite fittingly--almost peed their pants.) I was 18!!!

This is not mine, but my neice, who at around 10 years old was telling my sister and I how happy she was it was summer cause that meant she didn't have to poop. Guess she thought you only did that in school! We were rolling in laughter!

Because boys go #1 standing up while girls sit down, this must mean that boys don't ever have to go #2 since you have to sit down to do it. This mis-belief was cleared up when I walked in on my dad doing #2 after he had neglected to lock the bathroom door.

From a misunderstood quick glimpse of something I saw when the neighbor girl pulled up her skirt and pulled down her panties behind the garage, I thought that girls peed out of a little dimple set into the middle of their right buttcheek.

My boyfriends dad told him and his brothers that rocks were made from horse pooh so the bigger the rock... the more the horses poohed. They believed this for years and years(abnormally long time)

When I was 8, my mother was very pregnant with my sister. Whenever she went to the bathroom, I'd stand guard by the door because I used to believe the baby might fall into the potty and I'd have to rescue it.

my mum told me that poo was actually hershey's kisses, and that there were little elves in the toilet who made candy from the kisses that came out of your bum. i didn't question this at all, but did ask if my best friend got white chocolate candy... since i was black and she was white this made perfect sense.

when i was a kid, we swam in a lake. My sister always told me that when you hit a warm spot, it was where someone had just pee. I believed her, and everytime i hit a warm spot, i swam as fast as i could in the other direction!

I used to believe that drinking even a drop of urine would kill you. My brother and I made a special "stew" once that we'd both peed in, and then made the girl from down the road drink some (a tiny sip). We spent days battling extreme guilt, sure that she would die at any second.

As a young child, I was potty trained quite successfully, except for one slight problem: I never knew you were supposed to LIFT the cover of the toilet first.

"In, Not On," as my mum would tell me.

Then of course, there was the slight problem with me confusing the towels and the toilet paper. :/

Hey, I was 4 or 5, give me a break. :p

My mum told me as a small child that it was bad to hold it in when I needed a wee, because this was how you got worms. Presumably her intention was to get me to go to the loo before long trips, etc, but it has resulted in an eternal guilty feeling when needing the toilet, that A-level Biology and a degree in Biochemisty has not managed to dispell. My mother, of course, denies all knowledge of this....

my folks told me that if i didnt wipe properly, my butt hole could seal....

i made sure to wipe properly for about 7 years, and made them check to see if it was clean.

i was told that if i ever saw someone else peeing in the bathroom i'd grow a little sty in my eye. to this day i do not allow anyone to watch, nor do i like to watch anyone pee.

When i was little i believed that pads were for moms and dads. Whenever they would go to work they would put one on so that they could pee their pants (since they didn't have a bathroom break like we did at school) and nobody would know.

I don't know why I thought this, but when I was in kindergarten I had a friend and I thought that instead of having a butt, that she had to bring a little shovel with her into the bathroom and shovel the poop out....odd isn't it? I was a very imaginative kid...
