I never wanted to have babies when I was a young girl so I believed one day when taking the cat to get "fixed" that I could be also. My Mom didn't agree...neither did the Vet!

My dad had explained to me how animals "pair themselves" to make little animal babies (probably after watching humping lions on an animal show or something). I thought I had it all figured out, until I discovered that the human practice of "pairing ourselves" (marriage) didn't resemble the animal way very much, so I candidly asked my dad why humans pair themselves so differently. A deep sigh later, my dad launched into the real story...

The worst thing about this is when I told my friend about my new wisdom, he refused to believe me and beat me up.

I used to believe that for a baby to be born, a couple had to be married. If they were in love, God would give them one baby. If they were REALLY in love, god would give them two babies.But if they had been bad, he would give them three to punish them.

I used to believe that a man and a woman made a baby by pressing their stomachs together and hugging each other really tightly... and that baby 'ingredients' were pased from the father, through his belly button, into the mothers belly button and a baby was made. I also thought the baby came out of the belly button when it was born... and I couldnt figure out how it would ever fit!

i used to think that babies were produced by rubbing turmeric powder on the bride's belly during her marriage.

now as to number of and when the babies came into existence, i figured it depended on the amount of powder applied.

When I was very young, I remember loads of my mums friends being pregnant and having babies. I overheard my godmother talking to my mum one day about a friend of theirs getting her "milk" (as in breast milk). For quite some time I believed that women had to go with their husbands to a big dome shaped building to have the milk put into their breasts! Ahhhh aren't kids sweet!

When I was little my friend's father told me he was pregnant, and I believed him cause his stomach was so huge. I always used to ask him when he was going to have the baby, but he never did.

I used to think that Inside u there was already a baby

i figured out most things about sex etc by the time i was 8. But i didn't understand the whole term "sleeping together" as meaning what it does. So, once, my friends and i, aged about 7 i suppose, were sitting around whispering- they didn't know much, probably less than me, and the conversation got to "sleeping together" where i announced that i had slept with a boy, and it was okay, and that we'd done that lots of times, and last time, it was in a tent! (a family friend!) Then when i was about 14, i remembered that conversation... ouch.

when i was small i beleived that children were born by god throwing them through those holes in the ceiling that are used by workmen.all mothers would run with their stomachs facing up and one lucky one would get the kid.then she would be operated to get the kid out.
that was because i knew children were born from the stomachs.

When I was around 5 or 6 years old i used to believe that you could buy babies from a store. My mom would take me shopping and i would be whining coz i wanted a baby brother so she would point to a lady with a baby and tell me that she had gotten the last one. She did this every time I complained about wanting a baby brother. I believed her until she took me to work with her and a few of the ladys she worked with asked me where I was going and i told them I was going to walmart to get me a baby brother and they laughed at me...... parents can be so cruel!

I used to believe that babies come from a machine

i used to think babies were created by a man sticking his penis in a girls mouth. So one day my friend had a hazy idea of the right way. We got into a huge fght about it

When I was little, I used to believe that when babies were born, parents would have to guess at the names becuse the gender wouldn't be known until the child started to play with gender-specific toys (dolls or trucks). I was so glad that my parents had chosen my name accurately because I LOVED to play with dolls.

when i was about 11, on a visit to the toilet i found a pea bug in my knickers (i had been sitting in a field). I was horrified and terrified for the next few months as i thought i was going to give birth to a peabuggy person !!!! wow what an imagination!!

When I was about 6, my best friend told me the real way babies were made. I didn't believe her at all, I said "NO, God just points his "baby finger" (pinky) at a woman's stomach and the baby appears in her arms!" We argued for a straight 2 hours. I thought that until about the 4th grade

I used to believe that if a woman ate too much and she kissed a man she loved, that his magically love-enhanced spit would come down and touch all the food she ate and turn it into a baby. Only the spit of the man that she loved could change the large amount of food that made her stomach so big into a baby though. That's where I thought babies came from.

I used to think that I was pregnant, and that the wrinkles in my belly button was the baby's vulva.
