I could never understand why movie couples would be sitting at dinner and the wife would suddenly say "Honey I have a surprise for you. We're going to have a baby". After I had learned about the birds and bees, I thought surely wouldn't you REMEMBER doing something like that?"
I used to think that when you got married something would automatically happen to your body to make you have children. So I did not understand, when I saw a movie about a marooned couple with a baby on a desert island, how they could have children since they hadn't been to a church to get married.
