i used to believe that babies came through mail order.

A teacher I know told me this one: she had a female student who never heard that women could produce milk and nurse babies. When the student put two-and-two together and finally understood, she blurted out, dumbfounded "LIKE COWS???"

The kicker (and I'm not lying here) -- she teaches pre-med students in COLLEGE!

My Dad always used to refer to babies coming from " The Gooseberry patch"

I caught myself on many occasions looking under neath our gooseberry plant for babies.

well when i was three years old my mom was pregnant and i thought that the baby just sat in her stomach with its mouth open like a baby bird waiting for food to drop into its mouth.

I used to think that if you look into a pregnent womens belly button you would be able to see the baby inside her tummy.

When I was little, whenever I asked my parents where babies came from (I must not have believed them or forgot because I asked more than once), they would always say they had found me underneath a leaf. I believed them up untill I asked my brother, who said I was adopted which was also a lie. The whole thing ended around the point where I thought babies came from adoption centers which were underneath a leaf. Untill my parents bought me a book of Human Anatomy, thats what I believed till around 5th grade.

I knew about the whole sperm]egg/penis]vagina thing when I was 5. My dad explained it pretty well, but one thing I didn't understand was how the sperm came out. I thought testicles were sperm, and every man had only 2 of them, so they could only have 2 kids. (I didn't know anyone with 3 kids) I thought that grown men's testicles were on the end of their penis instead of at the bottom and when they had sex one fell off inside the woman. Thank god It isn't like that...

when I was tiny I thought that before I was in my mum's tummy I was a twinkle in my dad's eye for a few years.

My mother made a story on how my sister came into our family. She said that there are babies all line up in a hospital. She went and picked the the most beautiful one. I asked her what of the babies not picked by anyone. She replied that they become doctors. (I never asked where the babies came from in the first place!)

I used to believe that you would go into Wall*Mart and buy a baby for $5.50!

Sam

i thought you could pick the colour baby that you had. This was cos for years when i was naughty, my mum used to say "pack-it-in or we will take you back. We wanted a black one anyway, but we got you instead"!!!

My mother told me I wasn't planned, but she was afraid to take birth control because in her youth, she believed that for ever pill taken you were killing a baby that was already inside of you. ^_^

When I was 4 or 5, I thought women had babies by themselves as a matter of course--no daddy needed. I also believed I would join the United States Air Force. I kept asking my mom what would happen if I had my baby while I was in the Air Force. She kept answering, "well, they wouldn't let you stay in the Air Force, would they?" I cried in frustration, because it just wasn't fair: If the baby came along while I was serving my country, they shouldn't throw me out!

I remember sitting at the dinner table with the family and asking where do babies come from, my dad answered rather embarrassed a "seed". I never ate tomatoes for years!!!!!!!

I did not believe in the stork; I knew that women got pregnant for 9 months, then gave birth in the hospital. I did not know how the baby got there in the first place. I believed that when a couple got married, the wife would "automatically" become pregnant.
I also thought the baby would leave the mother's womb through her butt. ;)

Mum used to tell us that we came from yhe cabbage patch and our bellybuttons is where god hang us sp to dry. I believed that till I was about 12.

I figured out at around the age of six that married women had babies and unmarried women didn't. What I couldn't work out was how in the world the babies knew in advance which was which?

I USED TO THINK THAT BABIES APPEARED THROUGH A BELLY BUTTON; BUT "KIDS" WERE PURCHASED AT SOME TYPE OF "KIDZ R US" TYPE STORE!

My son (who will be 4 in July)told my husband and I this morning that babies come from baby bushes and that you just reach into the bush and pull one out. :)

T.K.P.

When I was four, as all pregnant women wore the same 5 dresses (with the lacey sailor collars- YUK) I thought that it was the fashion to wear these with a football under them.
