A childhood belief about getting pregnant

Once when I was five my best friend told me that women got pregnant by kissing a man and then "wrestling" with him. I got so scared because that very day I had kissed a boy at school and then rolled around with him on the grass at recess.

I also used to believe that a woman automatically got pregnant as soon as she got married. I was freaked out and was afraid to get married. I thought that a magic bug came out of the preacher when he said "you may kiss the bride". For a really long time I was afraid of my pastor at church. Don't ask where this came from!

Because of this weird theory, my friend and I would always get in arguments when we played Barbies. She always wanted to make the non-married "girls" pregnant. I would yell at her that this couldn't happen. :P
