When I used to ask my Mom where babies come from she used to tell me from God. That was fine but I would ask how they got into a mother's belly. She would say God put it there. Well I used to hear horror stories about labor and not want to go through the pain so at night I used to pray and say "Dear God, please don't put a baby in my belly, I don't want to go through that pain." Well since, I've learned and have a beatiful baby boy. Now I'm glad he put that baby in my belly!

When i was little, I used to think that sex was only a man and woman touching private parts. It made NO sense, until I figured out that the one thing goes into the other and THAT'S sex. LOL!

I used to believe as a kid that when your Mum got pregnant, the baby grew in her body standing upright. eg: The baby's legs grew in the Mother's legs and it's arms grew in the mother's Arms.

What makes it worse, I used to think that the baby could see out of the mother's eyes and that's how it knew where it's home and family was.... lol

when i was first introduced to asexual reproduction in grade school science class, i thought that it was possible for me to just become randomly pregnant. apparently my teacher didnt explain very well that it only occurs in simple plants and animals. i was terrified for weeks until i got the nerve to ask my mom about it!

When I was very young, another little boy that I was playing with, told me that girls had teeth "down there". Of course I believed him, and therefore when I became a teen, I was afraid of becoming intimate with girls. Later on I finally realized this wasn't true, but now I'm gay.

When my mom gave me 'the talk' I wasn't paying much attention. I thought she said that the man put his penis to the woman's nipple..and that was how I thought it was for several years.

When I was little (About 9 or 10), I believed that every time I peed the little bubbles in the toilet were sperm. I thought that they were already little babies with brains, and I would stick my head up to the toilet and tell them goodbye. I would wave to them as I flushed them down.

When i was 3 i used to believe that when a person wanted a baby they would goon this website called "Make-a-baby" you would write in all the details ( gender, eye colour, hair colour, personality etc.) then they would deliver it to you. I asked my mum why men didn't go on www.make-a-baby.com she said men couldn't be bothered to go through all the questions. Then i found out why men couldn't have babies, nice.

Not understanding that women could have children out of wed lock my brother once asked his Chinese friend who's mother had just had a baby but wasnt with the father "how much did you pay for your sister"

When i was 9, and just heard about sexual behaviour, I was told, and believed that having sex for one hour gave you one child. Having sex for two hours gave you twins

I was five when my mother was pregnant with my little sister. When I asked how that baby "got in her tummy", she explained to me that the daddy has a seed and puts it in the mommy and after a while a baby grows. So for the longest time I pictured my dad at a store picking out the best seed and bringing it home for my mom to eat!

I used to believe that girls were born from mothers and boys were born from fathers.

We are just two sisters: so that confirmed why we were both born from my mother.

After all, it doesn't seem such a bad idea....

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 used to believe that the term "sleeping together" really meant that they slept together, as in fell asleep at the same time and that's how women got pregnant, I could never figure out how the whole penis in vagina thing worked while you were snoring away...

Think way too much

My little sister, currently 7, believes that after you eat, if youre hugged by someone then youd automatically be a mother and the hugger was the daddy. the food would just mush up into a baby body until it was ready to come out:D

I have three sisters, A., V. and E. In 1969 when I was 6 they were 19, 21 and 23. The youngest sister A. was having a baby and I couldn't figure out why the youngest sister was having a baby first and not the older one.

By the time I was about six or so, I had gathered the gist of how sex works: the man sticks his penis in the woman, ejaculates (although I didn't know that word) something into her, and then she gets pregnant. However, I didn't exactly understand *where* the man stuck his penis. So, using standard kid logic, I figured that since women don't have a penis, the only remaining bit down there is the anus.

I decided at that point that I never wanted to have kids, because the last thing I wanted to do was shove my genitals into some woman's behind.

When I was a child most babies were delivered at home by the village midwife. She carried a big black "doctor's bag". As children we believed that people ordered a baby and she brought it to the house in the black bag. We also thought that all babies were boys and the mother and father dressed it as a boy if they wanted to keep it as a boy, but dressed it as a girl if they wanted a girl. As we got a little older we got more confused over gender and circumcison. We thought the parents who wanted a girl took the baby to be circumcised (everything cut off!!!) to turn it into a girl.

My older sister was expecting a baby when I was about 7, and I believed that all you had to do to have a baby was to lie down and wish really hard for one........I was close, hehehe, just wrong about the "wishing" part!!!

I always thought that the operation men get so they can't impregnate a women was the same as when animals get neutered, where their balls are removed. I found out in my late teens though that I was wrong...
