My parents divorced when I was a baby. When I was 3 they tried to get back together, the result being my sister.
Up until I was about 10, and had already had some sex-ed in school, I thought my sister was a residual pregnancy from my parents marriage. Then one day my mother pointed out to me that that is impossible, and confessed they had been "trying to make it work" when I was 3....
