when i was little my mum told me that babie are born through a little hole in your tummy. i looked at my own tummy and the only little hole i could find was my belly button so i assumed that babies were born out of your belly button. but what i didnt understand was how that big baby inside you could squeeze out of a tiny little hole. it was in y3 i found out that i was thinking of the wrong hole. lol! *smacks head*
