A childhood belief about reproduction

I used to believe that my teenaged sister was telling the truth that my parents found me in the strawberry patch in our back yard. I remember looking at it very respectfully as a 4-year-old and thinking I had to tread carefully so as not to crush the plants, as I hunted for berries to eat on the sly. Strangely enough, it didn't disturb me to have my (jealous) sister telling me I didn't really belong in the family. I liked strawberries so much it seemed that a strawberry baby was much superior to a normally acquired infant. I felt quite satisfied to be me, and it made complete sense to me, because I REALLY liked strawberries.
