my parents used to tell me that babies grew in fields, and people collected them.

I used to belive that white men's semen was white
and black men's semen was black, My "logic" was that it would explain black people having black babies and white people having white babies.

when i was about 5 or 6, i remember the commercials in between sesame street about now pregnant women shouldnt drink. i was really confused because everyone needed to drink, so i asked my mom why pregnant women cant drink, and she said because its not good for the baby. so then i proceeded to ask, "not even water?" so now i know better that they were talkin about alcoholic drinks!

I was in grade 10, when, in front of the whole class, while we had just "finished" the chapters on Mitosis / Meisis and Zygotes ... I asked my biology teacher, "I understood it mam, but where does this zygote really form? In the female body I presume, then how does she get MALE hormones inside?"


Surprisingly, all my friends (it was a girls school) knew about how it works, I got a stunned silence and stupid giggling after my question - sufficient to let me know I've asked a stupid questions. I got a fresh perspective in the recess that followed.

Needless to say, the teacher always believed I asked the question on pupose to embarass her and treated me accordingly.

I have NEVER asked someone "where do babies come from?" But I saw the news that this % of people are having sex. What does this sex mean? Nobody told me =(... I really thought that "sex" (that I herd in the TV) is the gender of someone...But, when I got older I realized that sex and where babies come from is connected.... And I was really shocked as in shocked! that the girl and the boy.........needed to do "that" to have a baby...............O_o

i used to believe that sex was how you make babies. but the weird thing is i thought you had to roll around in a field naked with another person and your bodies would morph into a small baby, which would be named by mixing the two people snames together, and that your parents were just virgins who were taking care of you until they had sex. and when people died it was just that they had sex and turned into a baby.

I used to believe that getting pregnant was like inflating a beachball. The Husband inserts his member into the Wife, and while pumps, pumps, and pumps some more, her belly slowly rises. This continues for as long as necessary. They might pause for a break, with them rubbing the belly going, "You reckon that's big enough?". The Wife then carries around a full-size belly for 9 months, to give the baby enough room and time to develop.

I was adopted, and always knew that meant I was "chosen" by my parents. Whenever we went to the grocery store, I would put a banana sticker on my forhead and ask "is this how much I cost" It eventually came to me having several stickers on my head at each visit.

i seriously used to think babies came from cabbage patches, thanks to the stupid doll.

When i was little i thought that If you asked god for a baby he would give you one.

I used to think that babies came from a baby store and that when my mother had to go the hospital when she had my little brother I thought that she and my dad were going to the baby store to pick one out. I believed this until about age 4.

When I was in third grade, for some reason most of my classmates still only knew the story of the stork or a very clean "birds and the bee's" so one day during class we were talking about birthdays and one of the girls in my class said "My birthday is on (some day) and thats the day the stork brought me home." And so being the enlightened child i was I raised my hand and was called on and said "No that's a lie, your parents had sex and thats how you were made" My parents got many a phone call from parents upset that their 3rd graders were coming home asking about sex.

I grew up on a farm, with cows. So at about the age of five I saw some of our cows being "hugged" by the bull in the herd. When i asked my parents why the bull was hugging the cows my parents straight out told me that the cows were having sex and that was how babies were made. Needless to say i soon came to realize how i had been made.

I used to belive that babys came from mothercare and if you were bad your mum could take u back for a refund!

I used to beleive that babies were made out of food that someone ate. For example if i ate sausages then it would form fingers, and meat was legs etc..

when i was young i wondered where kids and young animals came from so i asked Grandma and she sugared the pill by saying that they were created by a stork who used to deliver them to the mum and dad who they belonged to. so i belived that but then i brought a book called the facts of life when i was seven so then i knew the truth.
