When i was little i used to believe that you could make babies by putting a seed on the other persons belly button and then lying on top of them. Me and my sister used to try it all the time, until we were told the REAL story of reproduction.

Izzie

When I was a little boy, I thought that both women and men have penises like myself. To make a baby, the man must urinate inside a woman's anus. After a while the woman's stomach begins to swell when the baby is formed inside the woman's stomach. Then the baby comes out in a torrent of diarrhea after about a year. I reasoned that because some women couldn't take the pain when pushing out the baby, they died during childbirth. Therefore, I believed my theory was quite correct... till I read the book by Lynda Madaras "The What's Happening to my body - Book for boys." during the early years of my puberty.

When I was a very young boy, my mom told me that women got pregnant from doing dishes. I really believed that for a while. (You can imagine how I felt when they told me I was old enough to start doing dishes).

i used to think that girls were born with little tiny babies in their stomach and that when they became adults the baby would grow unitl time to give birth. i believed this until about 9 or 10.

When I was little, I saw "Look who's talking" on TV. Because it was edited, the only thing they showed for the sex scene was john touching kristie's knee. For the longest time after that I thought that if I touched a girl's knee, I would get her pregnant. Just goes to show you, you shouldn't censor movies on TV (and how dumb of a kid I was)

my sister used to believe that if you stood in front of the microwave while it was going that you would get pregnant

i believed that eating eggs would make me pregnant as my mother went into a too detailed story about getting pregnant when i was six, lol! and i didn't eat eggs for years!!

When I was about 5 my mom was pregnant with my sister and I asked her "how do you get pregnant?" After a few seconds of her going "um...uh..." she finally told me, "you have to dream it!" So up until I was 12 I thought that the mom and the dad both had to have the same dream at the same time that they took an elevator up to heaven and told God that they wanted to have a baby. Of course now I know better.

When I was about four, my mom was having another baby and some very weird cravings, so she used to stick these weird white olives on her fingers and eat them one by one. One day I was watching Sesame Street and Wayne Brady was on, who, as you know, is a black man, and his fingernails showed really prominently as white on his dark figers. Well, his fingernails looked just like the white olives my pregnant mom used to eat, so that's what I thought they were. Therefore, any black guy I saw on TV I thought was pregnant.

Kat

I used to believe that when two people wanted to have a baby they had to be in a room naked and turn up the thermostat. We had just learned about evaporation and i thought that a mans "stuff" evaporated and so did the womans egg. it would float up into steam and make a cloud.Then the cloud would go down through the womans belly button and become the baby. I was quite off wasnt I? =)

My little sister and I grew up with a family of boys the same ages as we were. At one point, the oldest boy (about 7) thought he figured out how to make babies, and him and I always assumed we would get married. So we decided to "make babies." He lied down on top of me with us both fully clothed for about 5 minutes. I tried to convince my mom that night that I was pregnant. She indulged me and told me to starting thinking of kids' names.

I used to believe women got pregnant randomly, sort of like catching a flu, only you catch pregnancy.

I remember playing with a friend when i was little and we were talking about getting married and having babies. The whole idea of dating and getting married made me cringe with embarrassment, so I proudly declared I would simply wait to get pregnant "on my own" instead of having a husband.

Sarah

For a long time when I was little I thought I was pregnant because whever I laid on my stomach I could feel something going "bump bump bump" inside my stomach. I thought maybe I had been raped as a baby and it impregnated me years later. Later on I realized it was just my heartbeat.

I used think to think that you got pregnant when you turned 16 (thank
God that isn't true) I also thought that when the shuttles landed in
the water as they used to, that the astronauts swam to shore (how
embarassing when you actually voice that in front of the entire 3rd
grade class)

Donna

when i was 6 my mum was pregnant, and for some strange reason i got the words 'pregnant' and 'spasticated' mixed up. When i went with my mum for a check up the receptionist said, so... what do we have here? and i said, my mums spasticated!!!!! in a really excited way because i was excited about my new brother/sister

by someone clever.....

i used to believe that women get pregnant if a man pisses over the toilet sit and then she sits down on it.

When I was little, and still to this day, my mom tells me the same story.

"Babies are made when the daddy gives the mommy a seed". That's about all she told me, so of course I was very confused and sort of figured out my own conclusion. I thought the "daddy" had a "seed" (like the flower kind), and he gave it to the "mommy", and then she would take that seed and somehow stick it up her butt, and out came the baby! LOL!!

I used to think that they guy had to pee on the girl to get her pregnant. I was terrified of having kids when i grew up because i thought someone would have to pee on me. It was very traumatic. :)

I used to believe that the number of kids you had was directly related to the number of steps in front of the church where you got married.

Anon

I used to believe that the bellybutton was the part of the body where children came out. And that birthmarks were the part of the body that came out first.
