When I was very young, I remember loads of my mums friends being pregnant and having babies. I overheard my godmother talking to my mum one day about a friend of theirs getting her "milk" (as in breast milk). For quite some time I believed that women had to go with their husbands to a big dome shaped building to have the milk put into their breasts! Ahhhh aren't kids sweet!
