I used to believe that you could order babies from a catalogue!And that everybody had been mail ordered!

I used to believe that if you had a baby at 19, you were HORRIBLE, because thats "teen pregnancy." But if you had a child at 20, it was perfectly OK.

when i was really little, i used to live next to some people who had 5 kids, 4 boys and 1 girl. i thought that the sex of the baby was determined by whoever did the most work when the parents were having sex. later i found out that it had to do with chromosomes. *hehe*

When I was a young boy - around 9 - I remember announcing seriously one day at the dinner table that when I grew up I would only be able to have 2 children. My mother asked me why and I replied "Because I only have 2 testicles".

I was not prepared for my parents reaction. They literally fell about laughing to the point where they were literally wiping tears from their eyes. I just sat there saying "What? What?"

Of course, I eventually got the explanation but it wasn't until some time later that I too saw the funny side.

There was this woman in my church who told her granddaughter (I swear this true) that if she had sex she should jump up and down really hard. It would break the egg and she couldn't get pregnant.
Now here is another tidbit. The grandmother had 6 kids of her own. Guess that method didn't work too well!!!

my boyfriend was told by his parents that they won him at an auction. and yes, he still hasn't forgiven them for it.

SOLD, for five quid

When my mum was explaining how babies are fed through the belly button, I somehow got confused and for way too long believed that a pregnant woman spoon fed a baby through her own belly button.

I used to believe that that a couple had a baby when they got married. I got pretty confused when someone had two kids....

i used to think that birth control pills should be inserted vaginally.

When I was around 4 or 5, I thought babies came from seeds that daddies put in mommies bellybuttons.

I used to belief that babies came from babies r us.

Honey

When I was 5 years old my sister had a baby and I had asked my parents where babies come from and my daddy told me that you found your baby on a fence post.

Kelly

When I was like 4 I asked my parents where babies came from and they told me that they got me off the clerance rack @ kmart I belived it untill i was 8.

Sam

My parents were regular customers of Sears & Roebucks. We always had one of their huge catalogs around our house. Seemed like almost everything we had came from Sears & Roebucks. After seeing all the babies in the catalogs, naturally, I thought that is where I came from, too!

Joyce Ward

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.

Christy

In my defense, the sex ed at my middle school was awful. The "nurse" said that once a girl started getting her period, she could get pregnant from coming into "close contact" with a boy. She didn't explain to us 5th graders just how close that contact had to be. For the longest time I wouldn't hang out with any of my guy friends because I thought they'd get me pregnant if I sat too close to them!

Just before puberty set in, a friend told me that if I was to ever shave my thighs all of my future pregnancy's would miscarry.

Anon

For many years I used to believe that my father had found me crying in a wooden crate close to where he worked. That was his answer when I used to ask where I came from. Then I found out that somehow babies came from the mothers' tummy, so then I used to think that all fat women were going to have babies.

rita

My mom would make statements referring to how much I cost, so I thought that you went to the hospital, looked in the window, picked out a baby and paid for it.
