I believed that a man bought a woman the pill and gave it to her so she could get pregnant. On a public bus into town, at about the age of 8, I asked mummy "How do you get a baby in your tummy, is it that pill that Daddy bought". The bus was packed and of course there was quite a few titters at mum's embarassment. I was told " I'll tell you when your older".
