When I was 3 I popped the big question to my dad: "Where do babies come from?". My dad, being a somewhat embarrassed scientist, and not feeling quite up to explaining sex to me, instead decided to give me a very detailed and quite accurate description of artificial insemination, starting with the man "peeing" in a petri dish, and all the way to implantation of the embryo.
I thought this was rather involved, but believed it for years.
