When I was younger...I was smart enough to know that men couldnt get eachother pregnant. Because I knew only women could have babies. So I thought that two women could have a baby together.

When I was about three or four, I used to think that babies came from "the baby store." Hey, groceries came from a grocery store, so why not?

I thought that babies would sleep on little cots that were lined up all around the 'store', and prospective parents would come in and choose a baby or two. I also remember believing ardently that, when I had been purchased from the baby store, I was wearing my pink "Martin Guitars" shirt, even though my dad had bought that for me when I was two.

I remember proudly telling my parents that I knew where babies came from, and they nervously asked me where I thought babies came from. When I told them the "baby store" they both burst out laughing.

In about third grade, my best friend "taught" me about the birds and the bees. I learned the typical procedure, up until the end when the man "pees" in the woman. Apparently, she knew something came out of his penis, just not what exactly. I thought this was true for the longest time until it finally dawned on me that pee is a waste product, and why would you purposely expel your waste into someone else?

When I was little, my parents, rather than giving me the stork line, told me that they found me while dropping off garbage at the dump. They said seagulls and rats were taking care of this fat naked baby who lived in a pile of garbage, and my mom made my dad consent to bring it home. I believe that...to this day, actually, because the alternative is nasty.

I used to believe you could get a woman pregnant by kissing on the mouth. I watched loads and loads of movies growing up as a kid. Sex wasn't something I really knew about and I didn't see all that much of it in these movies. Well anyway, in a lot of the films, the couple would kiss and get all hot and heavy. Then they'd lay down on the bed, or the couch, or some other place, and then the screen would simply go black or cut foward to another scene and all of a sudden the couple is married (assumably) with children. So as a young brat, I came up with the conclusion that you can make kids by kissing. Of course I kept on believing this up until junior high. Now that I have no excuse for.

When my mother was expecting for the second time, when I was 5 years old, she told me that I was going to have a little sister (which she couldn't have known). Because I didn't know how babies came into the world, I looked towards the door, expecting another little girl to walk in.

I used to believe that a baby's sex was determined by whether the sperm had a picture of a man or woman on it.

When I was little I thought that when you were born God put little seeds in your tummy and when he decided that you were old enough a baby would pop out of your belly button. I also though you could "order" what kind of kid you wanted. I decided I wanted 3 sets of twins. 1 set of identical girls 1 of boys and 1 set of a boy and a girl. Thank God that belief never came true. :)

Until *way* after I was old enough to know better, I believed my own "common sense" theory about breast milk. I thought all women had a built-in supply of powdered milk in their nipples, and just produced hot water when they had children... Like a coffeemaker.

Babies came from pills. My mom told me that when a woman wanted to have a baby, she went to see her doctor and he gave her a pill to swallow. Inside her stomach, the pill would grow into a baby!

My mom always told us that gypsies delivered me, my brother ws found in the garbage can, and my sister was brought up by wolves and they found her i nthe back yard... she didn't want to have th "sex" talk, so for years, we went around telling people our crazy stories, then my mom finally sat us down and gave us the "talk" man was it awkward, i think she was shaking more then us....

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 four my mother had an ectopic pregnancy. My parents were explaining to me what was going on and they told me that, "The baby is stuck in the tube leading to where the baby is supposed to grow." Well, savvy little 4-year-old that I was, I knew darn well that babies grew in the tummy. I further knew that the esophagus (although I likely didn't know the word) was the tube that lead to the tummy. For years I thought the baby had been lodged in my mother's throat.

When my little sister was born, my mom got me a present "from the baby" so that I would like the baby. I was really excited because the baby knew exactly what I wanted. But then, I asked my mom "Mama, where did the baby get that?" and my mom said "there is a mall inside my belly"
She tells me she told me right after she was just kidding, but somehow I missed the joke and I believed that there was a mall inside my mom's stomach for the longest time.

I used to beleive that parents go to a special market to purchase a baby for themselves becasue they are bored, so they want to enjoy with kids to have something new.

I used to believe that when a woman wanted a child, she'd request one from God. God would then rub his hands together, and with ever circular motion, a baby would grow larger and larger. After the baby was fully complete, he would throw it, from Heaven, in the direction of the woman, where it would be magically put into her stomache.

i used to believe that a woman gave birth through her belly button. I used to check mine everyday to see if i had a baby to play with yet. duh!!!

I used to believe that before my sisters and I were born, we all lived one on top of another in my Mum's torso, against a red background, until we came out in order. We had our own oven and stove.
