When I was about 5 my mom was pregnant with my sister and I asked her "how do you get pregnant?" After a few seconds of her going "um...uh..." she finally told me, "you have to dream it!" So up until I was 12 I thought that the mom and the dad both had to have the same dream at the same time that they took an elevator up to heaven and told God that they wanted to have a baby. Of course now I know better.
