when i was in kindergarden, someone told me you could get pregnant from touching a boys urine. I was too petrified to go to the toilet for a week!!!

When my friend announced that she was going to have a baby (she already had a boy aged 4) my daughter (aged 7) said, "You mean that you and Leroy (her husband) had sex AGAIN. I did not bother to correct her.

When I was 5 my mother had twins. I was overjoyed at having a new brother and sister but they had stolen my bedroom (the big one) and I had to move into the little room. To be assured that I would be not kicked out of this room I asked my mother one day if she had had her baby maker turned off. I'm not sure where I came up with the idea but I can clearly remember what a "baby maker" looked like. I thought there was a metal tube inside a woman that made babies and when a woman decided to not have any more children the doctor would turn the big red switch on the side to OFF. My mother assured me that her baby maker had been turned off.

When my mom was pregnant with my younger sister, I overheard her telling someone on the phone that she was the "black sheep" in her family.

Imagine my moms embarassment the next time I announced that my mom was pregnant...with a black sheep!

My mom told me that my dad told her that you both have to have an orgasm to get pregnant. My mom was 16, dad was 20, and needless to say, 9 months later I was born.

can't believe mom fell for it!

When I was young, I used to believe that moms get pregnant when parents slept on the same bed and rubbed their feet together. It was not until I was 12 I realised.. oh.. wait a minute, I'm missing something here :)
P.S : I NEVER believed that stork bull****, always knew they were hiding the feet-rubbing thing from me :D

I used to believe that, for a woman to get pregnant, she and the impregnating man had to go into the bathroom, she'd get a laser-shooting object, and shoot it at his scrotum. The scrotum would open up, a testicle would fall out onto the ground, she'd pick up the testicle, and swallow it whole, and it'd grow into a baby in her stomach. As a boy, that notion scared the hell out of me.

I used to believe that the only way you could get pregnant was by getting shot since you had the baby in the hospital and there was blood and everything; oh how wrong I was.

When I was around 5, I somehow developed the idea that women got pregnant by inhaling something that was in the air. As I constantly walked around our house holding my nose, my mother finally pried it out of me that "I didn't want to get pregnant by all the baby seeds in the air."

I still have no idea why I believed this or how I even thought of it, but I was a very imaginative child. Anyway, I used to belive that a woman got pregnent because a man from the hospital would break into the house at night and put a baby in her tummy. Then, a few months later, she would go to the hospital and have the baby. It's like a scarier version of the stork.

Another weird belief...my much older cousin said one day she was never ever going to have a baby. I told her that because she was a girl, she had to have one, because all women have a baby. I thought it was a natural thing. You eat, you sleep, and if your a girl, you have a baby.

When I was about nine, I saw this Star Trek episode where Troy got pregnant when she was sleeping in her bed and this light came out of the sky and just popped into her body and she kind of moaned when it happened. I was terrified this would happen to me so I always kept the covers tucked in and completely covering my feet. Whenever I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, I thought maybe it was because the light had somehow got through my covers and I was going to have a baby. It wasn't until I was older that I learned it was actually Jean-Luc Picard that got you pregnant.

wishywashy

Before I learned about the definition of a species (only animals of the same species can interbreed), I kept worrying that some bug would crawl up inside me and that I would give birth to a huge insect.

I used to believe that pregnant woman had to hold it until the baby came out because the baby would block the pee!

i used to believe that a woman got pregnant when she was married since her husband has enough money to get her lots of food and she will eat and have her big stomach.

My daughter believed that babies were put in the mother's stomach by God and when it was time for it to be born the doctor opened the door in the stomach (the belly button being the handle) and took the baby out. However, when we went to visit a friend in the hospital when she was about 7 she went to look at the babies in the nursery with her Dad while I visited my friend and when I went to find them she told me "I was wrong about where babies come from - they have a baby store here - you just go pick one out!" She thought that for a very long time and was very annoyed that we wouldn't take her in there to pick one out.

I use to think that if you went swimming and there was fish in the water that those were the "fish" that got you preganant so i alwaysed checked the water before i got in.

Okay, here's another one for my sister: My parents had an old cab-over camper, you know the kind that fit in the back of a pick up truck. It sat in the backyard rotting for years. Well, one day my 24-year-old half-sister asked my parents why they kept it. They told her that my 5-year-old brother was conceived in it during a hunting trip they took years ago. She promtply asked, "He went with ya'll?" My dad replied, "Yeah, he went with me and came back with her", pointing at my mom.

i used to believe that when you got married, and the preist guy said "you may kiss the bride" that when the bride and groom were kissing, they were switching skeletons through their lips!

It made sense to me because i thought men usually had the babies but it would switch around if they got married. and switched skeletons! Maybe i should not have watched the movie "junior" (where arnold S gets pregnant) when i was so young....

About 7 years ago, my little brother was 3. I remember my mother coming home one day excited and told all of us that her friend was going to have a baby. My little brother then asked my mother, "But where is the baby right now?"
My mother then said "In her belly"
Then my brother promply asked,
"Did she eat it?"

When i was 3 my mother gave me a G-rated version of "the talk" and my weird little imagination came up with this: the daddy and mommy get naked and sit on the couch. they hold hands, and look straight ahead. if they look down, nothing happens. while they look ahead, a little fish (my mom called sperm "swimmies") jumps out of the daddy's belly button and lands in the mommy's belly button where there is an egg (one she ate for breakfast or something) in her stomach waiting for the fish. the fish eats the egg, and it turns into a baby. i was afraid to eat eggs for a long time because i didn't want a little brother or sistyer. i still don't like eating eggs to this day, 17 years later.
