When I was about 5 or 6 I was curious as to how babies were produced. My mother told me if you ate a lot of food you would have a baby. And I always invisioned the inside of a woman's body filled with peas and carrots instead of bones and muscles so she could become pregnant.
I also thought once you get married you would automatically have a baby after a year. My cousin got married and didn't have a baby for 5 years and I asked my mom "Why didn't she have a baby yet they've been married for so long!"
