i believed if you had sex twice in a row you would have twins

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."

I used to think that women got pregnant from eating chicken patties. I saw a pregnant woman eating a chicken patty on a TV show so naturally, I believed that was the reason.

When I was about 4 or 5, I asked my parents where babies came from. My mom and dad, holding hands, smiled at each other and my mom said, "well, it takes a man and a woman." That's all she said! From then on (well, until I was about 10), I believed that after a man and a woman got married, they learned this special technique of putting their hands together. And, if they did this handshake/maneuver correctly, the woman would automatically become pregnant.

I used to believe that when little girls were born, they were born with a small baby already in their stomach. I thought that as the little girl grew, the baby grew. Therefore, I always ate a little extra sometimes, because I thought I had to feed the baby to make it grow so that when I was supposed to, I would have the baby!

When I was about six I was at a family picnic and my aunt swallowed a watermelon seed. Well, 9 months later she had a baby, all the grown ups were joking that it was the seed that did it, for the next three or four years I honestly believed that if you swallowed a watermelon seed you'd get pregnant.

When I was eight I used to think that in order to get a girl pregnant, you had to pee insider of her. I had no concept of what an actual orgasm was. This led me to be supremely confident in my ability to impregnate women, as I considered myself a masterful urinator at this point.

The Impregnator

My mom told me that only married couples could have babies, and it happened when they love each other a lot, so they ask God for one. I knew some unmarried people had babies, so I thought that they "tricked" God by wearing a wedding ring, having people call them Mrs., living in the same house, etc . . . basically PRETENDING to be married.

When I was about 3 years old my mom had tripped and fallen on the last couple stairs going down to our basement and my parents made kind of a big deal about it for reasons I didn't exactly understand. A few days later they told me she was pregnant with my little sister, so that was why they made a big deal about it, had to make sure the baby was okay and everything. Some how I made the connection that if you trip and fall you get pregnant. So for the next few weeks I'd purpously trip down the stairs, my parents thought I was nuts until I finally told them what was going through my head.

When I was really little I asked my mom the every famous question, "How are babies made?" She said that whenever you kissed someone, you would get pregnant. I was terrified because I kissed my dad on the cheek that morning and was crying because I thought I was pregnant and I was only six.

Eden

My mom and dad used to tell me that women who got injured got pregnant (they could of made up a better story!!), so one time my dad dropped something on his foot and I asked him if he was pregnant.

my dad likes to joke and once he got carried away. He actually told my sister u can get pregnant by eating green M&Ms. I didn't realize this until one day my mom came in my room and asked who i slept with. I didnt know what she was talking about and said my sister told her i was pregnant. When i confronted her she said the M&M thing. As it turns out she saw me eating them the day before!

My mom always told me that you can't get pregnant unless you're married, so I deduced that I must've been born three months premature, since I was born only six months after my parents got married. I remember going around telling this to teachers and parents of friends and girl scout leaders and basically everyone.

When I was in grade school I must have heard somewhere (probably on tv)that a woman got pregnant after she and a man "slept together," so I asked my sister (5 years older)why my Mom wasn't pregnant when she slept with Dad every night. She told me, "Well, they don't just lay side by side in their pajamas, they have to be naked and then the man climbs on top of the woman and then they DO IT." After this conversation I believed that a couple stripped naked, got into bed with the man on top of the woman and then just slept like that all night, and this would make the woman pregnant. I thought it was understandable that my Mom wouldn't want to have any more kids because it would be awfully uncomfortable for her to have to sleep with my Dad laying on top of her when he is so much bigger and heavier than she is.

When I was about 4 and asked my parents where babies came from, I was told that daddy gave mummy a special seed. Naturally next time we were in the garden centre I was enthusiastically looking around for the 'baby seeds' and asking loudly where they were. I'm told that my parents were embarrassed

Al's view of the world

My poor Dad was mortified by my questions about where babies come from, so he told me that he had planted a seed in Mummy's tummy. I honestly believed that he dug up Mummy's tummy with a spade (while he was naked too, bizarrely enough), and planted a single seed. I couldn't understand how a seed could grow in blood and guts instead of soil, but I suppose I didn't ponder it too much at that age.

Growing up, my family was always modest on the subject of sex and preganancy, so I naturally started to make my own assumptions. I remember being about 4 and thinkin that if girls married girls they would have a baby girl, and if guys married guys they would have a baby boy. (not to mention I had no idea that this was homosexuality) So I would always tell people that when I grew up, I wanted to have a baby girl so naturally, I would have to marry another woman.

When I was about 2, my mother told me that she had a baby (my sister) in her tummy. I apparently looked at her with wide eyes and asked, "Why? Did you ate it?"

Sisters are friends, not food

When I was about 8, at my church, this 16-year-old girl got pregnant. My parents told me that it was because she was bad. I had said "So if you aren't a grown-up and you are mean, you get babies?" and they had told me yes. So until I was about 10-11, I believed that if you were mean and hateful and talked bad about your siblings etc., God would punish you with a baby.

when i was 4-5 my mom was pregnant and i thought that all little girls had a teeny tiny baby in their tummys and over the years it would gradually get bigger and then when i was my mom's age it would be ready to come out =]
