I knew that babies were made with girl and boy private parts... but I thought that if my brother peed and didn't flush then I peed that a baby could grow in the toilet if you didn't flush fast enough

When I was about 4 my mom told me she got me in the supermarket, in the section with babies. For a long time I had a clear visual picture of my mom deciding which baby to pick and how she looked at the price. Funny though, I'd never seen a baby section in our supermarket. Guess I'd been at the wrong store! :-))

My sister and I used to believe that tampons were for making older women feel younger. We thought that once they were using a tampon, old women were able to dance around and do high kicks.

When I was younger (6-7) I found my mum's tampons in the bathroom cabinet.
I thought they must be toy umbrellas or parachutes of some kind, since they had a string and well, they are shaped similar to an umbrella.
So I unwrapped one and tried pulling the string to open out the 'parachute'. When it didn't work I was incredibly frustrated, but still tried with most of the box. After a while I got fed up and threw them away.
Mum had quite a shock later when she came into my room and saw all these destroyed tampons in the bin!

I found out about sex when I was 12, but I remained unclear on the actual birth process until I was 17 or 18. I believed the baby would come out the mom's butt. I was always terrified by this since I thought a 9 month pregnant mother might go to poop but accidentally plop the baby into the toilet.

Not me but a friend thought (until we set her straight) that periods were blue because of the commercials that show how much the pad absorbs. She was so embarrassed when we told her that the blood "down there" is the same color. So was her face :)
Until I was 8 or 9, I believed that "virgin" meant "young woman" or something. It wasn't before I read something about a guy being a "virgin" that I understood it had to mean something else.

When I was younger, I used to think the penis was actually called a "buddy" and the vagina was actually called a "schnizzy". Thanks, mom. :)
when i was little i used to think that you got pregnant by kissing in the mouth, and that by kissing you lost your virginity!
