I was the only child until my younger sister came along when I was two. I knew that she had come form mommy. Oddly enough, however, I held the belief that my two boy cousins had come from my uncle. In my mind girls *obviously* came from mommies and boys came from daddies. I never got a brother so it wasn't until a few years later that my mom set me straight about it. I find it interesting that I can still recall this childhood theory and distinctly remember believing it.
