A childhood belief about milk

When I was a kid my parents would sometimes tease me by "teaching" me things that were false. I would only become suspicious when I caught them snickering at my gullibility. But there was one time they didn't fool me for a second: when they told me that milk came from cows. I told them they were out of luck on that one, because I happened to know for sure that milk came from factories, so there. Just like I knew that babies would pop out from the navels of their mothers. And that actors in movies would actually fall in love with each other in order to add realism to their acting, and would die for real for the sake of their art if it was required by the script.
