I was a very naive child. When I first discovered it was possible to have a baby without being married, I was puzzled. My mother explained it thusly: "Sometimes a boy and girl or man and woman get too close before they are married, and accidentally make a baby." I swear I was at least eleven before I stopped fearing that I could become pregnant if one of my male classmates rubbed up against me too closely, for example, sitting on the bleachers at a crowded ballgame. See why it's important to be honest when kids ask questions?

I used to believe you could get pregnant by eating a whole jar of peanut butter. My mom couldn't figure out why I refused PB&J sandwiches for months on end! Needless to say, when I found out the truth, I didn't trust my babysitter anymore!

My grandmother used to believe that they way you got pregnanut was to swallow a watermellon seed. She was terified of eating watermellon for a long time after that.

I used to believe sperm were like fishies and people got pregnant because my parents tummies got jelly-like and they jumpred from my dads stomach to my moms stomach.

I used to believe you got pregnant automatically, and you could even when you were a kid. I was so afraid this would happen to me!!!

When I was about 7 Years old I was using a public restroom, the women watching me scolded me for not putting toilet paper on the seat first before using it. She said so you know what you can get from sitting on a public toilet seat? I replied yes, you can get pregnant. It was many years later I found out why she laughed os hard.

When i was about 7 my older sister told me i could get pregnant by sittingon a boys knee and so when my uncle pulled me on his knee i screamed "im too you for kids please dont get me pregnant!" I went as red as a beetroot when everyone laughed as i didnt know what was so funny!

I thought women got pregnant by eating watermelon seeds. needless to say I never ate them until I was aware of the truth....about age 11.

I remember asking my mom if a woman was pregnant, could she get pregnant with another child so they would be 4 months apart or something. She said it was a good question and to ask our family friend who was a doctor.

I used to believe that the food that a woman ate grew into a baby.

When I was very young I firmly believed that girls got pregnant because they wanted to...in other words if they said they wanted it, it would happen instantaneously. So I spent the better part of every day saying out loud, "I don't want to be pregnant...I don't want to be pregnant..." What a goofball.

When I was in elementary school, someone told me that for a woman to get pregnant the man had to pee in the woman's mouth and she would become pregnant. I now realize that kid was extrememly misinformed on oral sex and conception, but at the time I believed it wholeheartedly.

When I was about 12 I thought that how you get pregnant was a guy had to pee inside the girl.
