A childhood belief about reproduction

I thought that maybe babies came from a comet in space like Superman until I realised they came from their mother's tummies. I then wondered how on Earth that would happen and proposed the following theory... First idea was that a baby was a natural growth formation placed by God when a couple were truly in love and wanted one. Then I had the idea that maybe when a mother sleeps, God sends angels or fairies to Earth to magic the woman to sleep..they would then cut open their cranium, take out the brain and any other obstruction, dump the foetus in the tummy, put everything back and magic away the blood. I drove myself into such a puzzle at five that I asked for the truth.:) When I knew about sex, I had this belief that a man just gets his penis in his fingers, walks up to the lady and puts it in. The sperm just swam out like water from a pipette and was effortless. I think I learned the truth a few years later when I asked more questions. :)
