I used to beleive that when a baby was born, you couldn't touch it because it's skin was so thin that you'd tear it, and it would bleed to death. I heard this from a TV show on discovery channel. I now remember that they were actually talking about some very premature-birthed babies, but the word "premature" was beyond my understanding at the time. So I thought this was the case with all babies. When I said this in 1st Grade, the teacher finally corrected me.
A childhood belief about giving birth
others believed things like this
- Premature ejaculation was when you came before you reacher pubertyAnon
- I used to think "premature ejaculation" was a boy ejaculating before he hit puberty.Anon
- I thought that babies were born out of your bellybutton (couldn't think of anywhere else they pop out of!)— Hattie
- In first grade, I thought that if I've never heard of a word before, then it wasn't a word.— Destiny
- Before I knew about death, I used to think people turned back into babies again after they got old. Anon
- When i was little I thought babies were made by french kissing. havn't you ever seen look whos talking now?!
