My mom used to tell me that babies are made when two people mix their genes. I thought she mean jeans, as in the pants, so for a couple years I thought that the way a man and a woman made a baby is when they take both their jeans and rub them together, then the women puts them back on and she becomes pregnat. Hey...it's sort'a logical..for a 4 year old...

A friend told me about this one:

She asked her Mum one day about babies were 'made'. Her mother replied that she and my friend's father had thought about it a lot and decided they both wanted to have a baby. The next day at school my friend told our whole group or six yeard old buddies that what had to be done to get a baby was think about it very hard at exactly the same time.The trick to is was that you couldn't discuss it. This synchronicity of mind could only be achieved by two people who loved eachother very much. I believed it, too.

I wsa in the library one day when I was 9 and really bored. So, I found this kiddie book that said "Where Babies Come From". Since I had been pestering my mom to tell me, I figured I'd just read it and know. It was a story about this boy arguing with this girl to how mommies and daddies made babies. Well, further on, the boy's parents explain it to him, and I was completely digusted! I was scared that I would get in trouble for reading it, so I found a bean bag chair, unzipped it and stuffed the book in the middle of it. I dont' think the library ever found that book, and I never looked @ my parents the same.

When I was little I asked my parents were babies came from, I was told that when they decided to have me, they simply went to the hospital with a bowl of flour and then the people at the hospital made me, the sad thing is that I believed them!

When I was about 4 or 5 I asked my Mom where babies came from. She told me to ask my Dad. I did and he told me to ask my Mom. So, I asked my big brother (he was about 7 or 8 at the time)
He told me the JC Penney Catalog and showed me the pictures of the babies. Of course they were selling the baby clothes. I thought it was cool when we got the Sears catalog because they sold babies too.
I believed this till I was about 9 and my friend told me the truth. My brother got a good punch in the arm for that one!

When my nephew was six he was being naughty so I told him that his mum and dad bought him from a supermarket.

I went on to say that they decided to take him back because they didn't like him but the supermarket wouldn't give them their money beck.

I think I may have scarred him for life!

My brother told me that my parents got me at the Salvation Army, and I was thrown in a sale bin, and the only other candidate for adoption in there with me was a kid with no arms or legs.

When my brother was six, my aunt got pregnant. She came over to our house for Christmas when she was seven months, and my mother and I pinted to her belly and said "Aunty Viv's baby is in there." Horrified, my brother said "You ate the baby?!"

I used to think that consuming any Carnation product (they make powdered milk and stuff like that) would make you pregnant. I remember that my mom made me some chocolate Carnation instant breakfast once, and after I drank it down, I glimpsed the box from which it came. I was horrified. I was only 6, so the idea of giving birth was daunting. I suffered alone for a day, until that night when my mother tucked me in my bed and I burst out crying, "I don't want to be pregnant!"

She must have been very confused and alarmed, but I told her that I drank the dreaded Carnation and she straightened things out for me.

When I was 7 I broke my arm and went to the hospital for a cast. After the cast was put on
I asked when do I get my baby? Everyone laughed when I asked that and I didn't know why.
You see, I was 4 when my mother cut her finger and it was bleeding and they took her to
the hospital and after a few days when she came home she had my baby brother with her.
So I just new that any time a girl went to the hospital they gave her a baby when she left to
come home.

When I was 4, my mom was pregnant with my little sister. At first I told them that they couldn't have the baby--I was the baby of the family afterall, and I wasn't about to be replaced! But I ended up really wanting to have a little sister, and got really protective of her when she was still inside my mom. As my mom was nearing the end of her pregnancy and was really showing (this was probably in the last 4 weeks before she had her), I insisted on going to into the bathroom with my mom every time that she needed to use the toilet. I was really afraid that if she wasn't careful, the baby would fall out and she would flush the toilet and not realize that she had lost the baby! So every time she was done, I made her let me check the toilet to make sure the baby wasn't in there before she could flush! (All in all, I really can't believe my mom put up with me!)

I used to think that if a black woman or man and a white woman or man had a baby, it would be Asian.

My Aunt always used to tell me that babys came from the stork (as many people are told),but One day I asked her "How do you get the stork to come?" and she told me you had to call him...and as the curious kid I was asked her "HOW?!"...Ahe told me that when two people really love each other they take off their shirts and let their Belly-buttons press together to call the stork!

When I asked where babies come from, my mother explained that chemicals are exchanged from the man, into the woman, who then grows the baby in her womb. (My mom was pretty honest) I filled in the blanks though, the only real interaction I could think of to exchange chemicals was making out.

I used to believe that men had something in the back of their mouths, that would shoot out into the woman's mouth (ala Alien), and drop the chemicals down the throat into the woman's womb.

Ges

I used to believe that men had baby boys and women had baby girls.

"Sleeping together" ment the man and the women would fall asleep with out any cloths. If the mans willy touched the slit between the legs she got pregnat. Unprotected sex was when one or both forgot to put their underwair back on before they went to sleep.

I used to believe that birth control pills were there so you could choose whether you wanted a boy or girl( blue pills were for boys and pink for girls). I was very young when I believed this.....

i laboured under the rather terrifying belief that in order to make a baby my seed would have to be put into my wife. why so terrible? unfortunately i thought surgery would be involved in removing one of my two 'seeds' (i now understand the surgery to be known as castration and largely unrelated to dedicated couples reproducing). as you can imagine, it took me a long time to realise that one day i'd actually love to father children: consequently, i blame the parents!

The mom of one of my close friends growing up always craved oranges when pregnant. She was sure, and convinced the rest of her girl friends, that oranges could make you pregnant. Sad to say we worried about that till freshman year of high school. We were late bloomers!

Mary Anderson

When I was little I used to think that all girls were born with a baby inside them, but it was really small (like the size of a nail) and it just grew bigger as you grew up till you got married and then it just came out of your tummy. on finding out how babies really came to be, i was devestated!
