My mom was always very open about sex. She told me that when two people were in love, they got together, had sex, and that's where babies came from. When I was in preschool I had this strange picture of what sex was. I pictured two people laying out on banana chairs next to a pool. The woman was wearing a bathing suit, some sunglasses, and a large sun hat. The man was in some swim trunks. They were just enjoying themselves and getting a tan. To this day I still don't understand why I thought that, but I enjoy a good laugh over it on occasion.
