A childhood belief about getting pregnant

I used to think that a women would get pregnant when she would french kiss a man. But it was different when a women wanted to get pregnant because the man would also throw up a fetus into the her mouth and she would swallow it. The baby would then grow in the stomach and feed on whatever the mother ate (i thought this because when my aunt was pregnant, she ate a lot of food and said that when woman are pregnant they are always hungry). I also thought that when a woman gave birth, the baby would go through her belly button. I thought that is what made childbirth so painful.

I eventually learned all about sex from TV. Good thing i had cable, otherwise it would have taken me much longer to realize the truth. I switched schools after 5th grade, so i didn't learn about it from school. The school i went to before i switched taught students about sex in 6th grade, i the school afterwards taught students in 5th grade. It took me a while to fully understand everything about sex, but i knew what basiclly happened.
