I was five when my mother was pregnant with my little sister. When I asked how that baby "got in her tummy", she explained to me that the daddy has a seed and puts it in the mommy and after a while a baby grows. So for the longest time I pictured my dad at a store picking out the best seed and bringing it home for my mom to eat!
