When I was little 5,6,7ish I knew that babies were in the mother's stomach....
I didn't know how they came out. So I figured they put you to sleep(anethesia)then cut open your stomach took the baby out and sewed it back together. Then later I asked my mom: do they out you to sleep when the baby comes out?
She said "no" I WAS SO SCARED THAT they would cut open girl's stomachs just to get the baby out.... I am so glad my great aunt got me a visual dictonary a year or two later ;)!!!
