I think I was about 5 when I asked my mom where babies came from. She promptly told me that babies come from a woman's birth canal. For some reason, at this point in my childhood, that answer sufficed and I did not ask her anymore questions. But for years after I thought that the birth canal was in a woman's arm and that IVs where used somewhere in the process of getting pregnant and/or giving birth.
