When I was very young, I used to think that women got pregnant by eating their wedding cake. It seemed logical to me at the time... a couple got married, and soon afterwards, had a baby. I surmised that they must put something in that cake that would make the wife pregnant, because that's the only thing all married couples had in common -- the wedding cake!
