When I was about 10 or 11 I was at my best friends house and her friend from down the street came over to play for a while.Well, My friends brother came in the room where we were playing and she said something to him that made him mad an he punched her in the stomach an instead of crying or telling she just looked at him and said "You know what happens if you do that!!" Me,My friend and her brother had NO clue what she ment,So after he left we asked her and she thought you had a dozen eggs in your stomach and could could only be hit in the stomach 12 times and if you was hit more you couldnt have babies or your period!
