When I was about 8 my mum gave me a book on sex. When my younger sister had left the room, she decided to explain it to me in a little more detail. She told me that the 'little tadpoles' from the man got into the woman and that was how a baby was made. When I asked her how on earth the 'tadpoles' got in the woman, she replied, 'I don't know'. Sure she didn't.
