Anatomy Lesson
When I was about four years old, my mother taught me the names of the various body parts, including the import lesson that certain parts differ between boys and girls. Several days later, I decided Mom was misinformed. “Mom, you said that girls don’t have penises, but Elizabeth showed me, and she has one, too.” It’s hard to remember, but I recall my mom being shocked, probably because she was embarrassed at getting this wrong. But as it turns out, the lesson had not taken well. I had confused penises and belly buttons, the latter of which Elizabeth revealed. Rest assured, I have figured out the difference by now.

LOL … I’m a med student and when I read this post … It reminds me of me!!! I knew I want to be a doctor ever since first grade I guess. So I started my Anatomy lessons early, as soon as I learned how to read. Hahaha. I had the nipple and belly button confused, as well as Maxilla and Molecule! I was trying to convince my Anatomy professor mother that she was wrong, and there is no fatty tissue under the nipple. And I called my uncle to support me, Not a good idea. My poor mom was very embarrassed.
