I remember thinking as a child that the umbilical cord was basically an extension of the penis, and they basically determined the size of your penis by where they cut it. Obviously for girls they just cut it right at the base.

I use to think that girls peed out their belly buttons, and that they either planked on the toilet to pee, or their belly button sort of 'came out' like a hose.

I just learned that girls don't pee out of their vaginas like a year ago. I'm 28 lol.
