Upon the question of "where babies come from" my mom told me that a man had to put a seed inside the woman and it would grow into a baby, and I refused to believe her (imagining a sunflower seed being put into her stomach), so I tried to trick her by asking her things she wouldnt be able to answer. I asked where it came out of, on the man (being smart enough to disbelieve friends who said that people got ingredients for babies out of stores, because *how would babies me made in days of cavemen, then?*). My mom's blush and refusal to answer confirmed my theory that she was lying.
Strangely enough, I knew about sex, but thought it was just done for the heck of it, and it was only in 5th grade that i found out the two were interelated.
