When I was too young to be told about sex and contraception I asked my mother what condoms were, she replied saying go ask your step-dad. So I went upstairs to ask my step-dad what condoms were, to which he replied, Polar Bears hats...and so I went on believing that condoms were polar bears hats for a while until I was educated about sex!!
