When I was in fourth grade a group of friends and I were standing around talking and a girl came up all excited and said "oh my god my mom told me how babies are made" and of course we were all eager to here, then she told us, "the dad sticks his penis in her vagina and he sprays this stuff if he wants to. if he sprays it for one minute then you'll have one baby. two minutes equals two babies and so on."

My cousin and were swimming at the local pool when she ran away and started crying. I followed her into the bathroom, when to my horror, she exclaimed,"I am pregnant!". We were 8. When I asked how, she said a boy had touched her toes without shoes on!

Sadly, when I was in third grade I didnt know what sex was ( of course I told people I did) and I thought girls got pregnant by just being near guys. See one time I saw something on the news about pregnant teenagers, and was incredibly shocked to find out that you could have kids without being married, and for some reason this is what I figured must be true. I avoided boys for a pretty long time...

When I was around 4 or 5, I was questioning my mother about babies. She told me that when you were pregnant, you had to watch what you ate because whatever the mother was eating, the baby inside was eating as well. Somehow I translated this to, you have to watch what you eat or else you will GET pregnant! And for what ever reason, I associated that with cheese. I thought that there was a microscopic baby lurking inside all of us, but that they liked cheese and would start to grow if you ate it. I was paranoid of eating dairy for months! My poor mother couldn't understand why every meal would start with me asking, "Is there cheese in that??!!"

when i was a little kid and my parents told me then storks bought babies i believed them. but in later years they explained about sex. i still thought storks brought kids to i thought the stork had sex with u so you could have a kid.

i was so sweet and innocent then

I used to believe that all you had to do to get pregnant was to kiss a man while you were naked under the sheets.
Then the next day you had to eat a lot of food to get your stomach fat, and make sure that you eat a lot of animal body parts like turkey necks, chicken legs, an entire turkey for the body, pig lips, peas for eyes,chicken feet for feet, finger food for fingers, and so on. But that Always left me wondering how vegetarians became pregnant.

When I was tiny (maybe 4) I used to think that people got pregnant by sneezing. They had to have this special powder that made them sneeze, though, which is why only women got pregnant, because nobody would give the powder to men or kids. I have no idea where I got that one...

When I was in kindgergarten, one of my sisters got pregnant. Another sister and me tried to figure out how it happened. We knew it took a male and a female and had to do with your private area. We had also heard of the "pill" but didn't know what it was. So, we pieced everything together and came up with this: The guy takes the pill and puts it in the girl's butt and that's how you get pregnant.

When I was 5 years old my older sister convinced me of the following:
If a girl goes swimming, then a fish (usually a trout) would swim up your leg, lay its eggs in you, & this would result in pregnancy.
Needless to say, I was very frightened to go swimming in our creek for a pretty long time, for fear of getting pregnant!
Older sisters can be so very cruel!

I used to believe that to have a baby the mother would go to a vending machine. There would be two vending machines, a lady vending machine, which was pink, and a man vending machine, which was blue, and the mother would put a coin into each and out would pop a jellybean. Then the mum would eat both jellybeans (blue and pink) and nine months later she would press her tummy button and out popped the baby!
I had a weird imagination.

In India we are not open about sex so I thought americans had to have sex to have childeren but Indians just had to be married

I at one time believed that I was impregnated by the Lord. No lie, I seriously thought I was the new Mary. How utterly ridiculous. That's what happens to mis-informed, sheltered, late-blooming girls who were never told that periods aren't always regular and on time.

Not Jesus II's Mamma

when i was 6 my mum gave me a bok about babies and all i remember from it is sperm with top-hats on and bow ties and i used to think they were tadpoles. so i thought that if a woman wanted to get pregnant we would have to sit in a pond where there were tadpoles and one would swim right up there and she would get pregnant.

When I was in the third grade I told my aunt that I knew how women got pregnant. She said "Oh How?" I replied that a boy had to throw up in the girls mouth. She confirmed that this was indeed what was supposed to take place. She must have had a talk with my mom because soon after that I got the 'birds and bees' chat,

I have an aunt that, until the age of seventeen, believed she could get pregnant if someone flipped her the bird. She was out with friends one night, and some boys drove by in a car and flipped her off. She went home crying and told her mother she was pregnant...

When my little sister was born, i was 4. And i was still tryin to figure out where babies came from. Since my parents wouldnt tell me, i figured that the mommy ate so many strange foods that it somehow blended and became a baby. So i decided to tell my little baby sister that she was made of doughnuts.

A friend of mine used to think that you got pregnant from eating baby food.

i used to think, when i was about 10, after reading my older brothers book on plants, that
people could also reproduce thru sexual and asexual methods. and i was completely
convinced that my brother was conceived sexually and i was conceived asexually. not that
i knew what any of it meant...

When i was about 3 or 4, i asked this boy at playschool where babies came from, and he told me that girls get pregnant by drinking fizzy soft drinks. For about another 4 yrs i believed him and was terrified of drinking them in case i got pregnant, and even now i cant stand them.

For some reason it never occurred to me that other people drank them and didn't get pregnant. I was dumb..

When I was little, I had a friend who told me one day that she NEVER wanted to have a baby.. because she didn't want to have the operation to get pregnant. I was perplexed as I had never heard this theory before, and I told her she was wrong. She proceeded to explain how a doctor needed to remove a chunk of the husbands flesh from his body, and then surgically insert it into the womans body. I wanted to believe she was wrong, but at the same time, I had no better theory, so I went along with it too.
