I don't know why, but when I was in kindergarten, I adopted the belief that when you had a baby, you simply pulled it out from under your shirt. So when me and my friends would play "house", and one of us would be the "mother", to have the baby, we'd stick a doll under our shirts, and when it was born we'd pull it out..
