My dad showed me the movie Alien when I was really little and I thought from then on that babies were born that way. Like, the mother's stomach got bigger and bigger until finally it ripped open and the baby came out. I didn't learn otherwise until one day I asked my mom why there were no scars on her tummy "from the baby bursting out"
