A childhood belief about getting pregnant

When I was about 6 I thought babies were made when couples kissed each other in the mouth. One time a friend of my class was talking to me and a bit of saliva flew from his mouth and landed on mine. I spent 2 days afraid that I was pregnant and that made me find the courage to ask my grandmother how the babies were really made! I was relieved.
