I used to believe that women got pregnant if they didn't get married soon enough. Like if a single pregnant girl was on TV, and I asked my mom how she was having a baby without a husband, my mom would say, "Oh she messed around before she got married." I thought that meant she took her sweet time getting to the alter.
