rude bits

When I was young I misread the word pubic, thinking it said public. I could never understand why something you kept hidden was called public hair!!!!

I thought that each breast produced a different kind of milk - the right one chocolate milk and the left one, white milk! Of course I believed this because my older brother told me and our neighbor's(a doctor) son confirmed it!
Gosh I wanted to smack my brother when I found out it wasn't true.

When I was really little, one of my parents' friends told me that when I was 16 my penis falls off. I was shocked, of course, and he said it was ok, they grow back. I didn't find out he was lying til I was about 8.

I used to believe that everyone was born with a penis, only that when parents wanted a girl they would chop the penis off when they were born, which is what I believed my mum must have done to me! I was annoyed that she had made such an important decision, what gender I would be, without even consulting me first!

My bedroom and my parents' bedroom shared a wall and I could hear whatever they watched on TV. One night they watched a special on PBS about breast cancer. No big deal, except that I was eleven and just hitting puberty and for about six months I was certain that those little lumps were cancerous tumors.

It took a nice little diagram of breast development to convince me that I was wrong.

i thought the phrase "getting a boner" referred to men getting their periods.

when i was little .. my parents referred to a girls privates as their flower .. untill i was 8 and my mum explained it to me ... i thought there was something extremely wrong because i didnt have an actual flower .....

I used to believe that pinocchio lived inside people and that boys were liars because pinocchio's nose would grow so long that it would hang outside their bodies. (Now I know what a penis is) I thought girls always told the truth because they didn't have a long nose thingy, 'penis'. How wrong was I!

One day when I was about 6 or 7, my brother came home from school. My mom asked him what he learned about that day, and he said he learned about the penis in his health class. I asked what a penis was and heard my mom say "a whale's pee pee" instead of a male's. I was surprised when I eventually got to sex ed and learned what it really was.

When I was a little girl, I thought all babies came from 'China' (a Vagina)

I also thought that the function of testicles was test your pee. (Test for what, I don't know. Diseases? Impurities?).

After all, they are called TESTicles.

When I was little I believed you got breasts when you got married! My belief was based on the fact that the only women I saw whith them were married, thankfully it's not true as I have them now and am not married yet!

When I was about 6 years old I found out that I didn't have a penis,so I tried to make my own by using a toiletpaper-tube..My best friend was a boy and after seeing his penis I thought I was not normal.I practised to pee standing up with this,and after a lot of spilling on the floor,hands and clothes I actually got quite good at it!I did it a long time,until my mum finally saw it and explained that I was a girl and therefor had no penis..

After a neighbor-boy told me "Once a boy gets a zit they shoot sperm" I thought that a penis would shoot sperm constantly looking like a 4th of July sparkler.

There are no foreworks...

One day my brother came out of the shower with a towel over his parts as he always did. This time the towel came off and I was shocked at what I saw. I thought guys only had a penis, never heard or saw testicles. So when i asked him about it he said it was to store sperm and when u get hit there it hurts. I said ok and gave hima hard punch right there!!! For all those times he made fun me. I certainly got my revenge!

I never thought there was any such thing as "pubic hair" When I was 10 I started getting some and was afraid that it would grow as long as my regular hair and I would have to braid it and use shampoo!

My friend's 6 year old son recently came up to me and asked me if I knew why girls don't have penises. I asked him why, and he said, "Grandpa says that they played with them too much and they fell off!"

When I was a little girl I would mimick my mother by "nursing" my baby dolls. I held a very firm belief that one of my child sized breasts held orange juice and the other one held milk.

Met a man who thought every woman could give milk, whenever, wherever.
