When I was little I heard stories about a rock exploding and out comes a baby. So I always had this idea that babies are hidden in objects around us: desks, chairs, computers, trees... and when they explode, a baby would come out from it. I remember my mom told me about how she gave birth to me...but somehow, at that time, I had mistaken her meaning, because I always thought that I was a baby from a toilet!!~
A childhood belief about giving birth
