A childhood belief about giving birth

This is not my belief, but my step-cousin's:

When my step-mother was pregnant with my half-sister Alice, my step-cousin was fascinated by the whole affair, and couldn't wait for Alice to come out so she could play with her. Evetually it was explained to my step-cousin that Alice mightn't be able to do all the exciting things she wanted to do with her at first - that, in fact, when she was born, Alice wouldn't even be able to walk.

"That's alright," declared my step-cousin, without much concern. "If she doesn't have any legs, I'll carry her!"
