when i was about 10 or so and in the backseat of the car, my dad said he was pulling over at the next gas station to take a dump. I exclaimed, "but you can't! boys don't have butts!" a year later it occurred to me why my family laughed at me.

When I was young, my mom always told me when she would brush my hair at night that she was brushing out the knots. When I asked her what the "knots" were, she told me this story about the "knots" being little monsters that sneak into little girls' hair at night, and unless they got brushed out at least once a day, they'd take over my head and I'd have knotty hair forever.
