When I was 4 or 5, I thought women had babies by themselves as a matter of course--no daddy needed. I also believed I would join the United States Air Force. I kept asking my mom what would happen if I had my baby while I was in the Air Force. She kept answering, "well, they wouldn't let you stay in the Air Force, would they?" I cried in frustration, because it just wasn't fair: If the baby came along while I was serving my country, they shouldn't throw me out!
