When I was 4 or 5 years old, I believed that babies were made by taking the "fluff" out of milkweed pods, soaking them in a puddle, and then eating them. That was how the baby got inside you! Yeah, my older brother told me this ( to be a wiseguy ) but I totally believed him. I found out the truth a couple years later!
