When I was in grade six, I knew a little bit about puberty and sex and all that other stuff (my mom had told me "where babies came from" when I was only four years old, and she'd bought me a book about puberty when I was ten), but I still wasn't exactly sure what condoms were, or what they were for. So one day, at school, I asked my friend Lisa what a condom was, and she said "The man puts it over his dinky before sex so the woman doesn't get pregnant." Then she proceeded to scuplt one out of plasticene for my edification, by making a plasticene "log" and sticking her finger in it to make it hollow. So, for a while, I believed that condoms were either hard plastic devices that the man stuck his thing into, or sort of like a rubber "sock" for the man's thing. I was shocked when I first saw one in a package, lol.
