i used to play "giving birth" with my friends and once with my boy cousin. I was about 5 and he was 4 but he was a little more educated than me. So when i asked if he wanted to play that and he said yes i laid down on the bed and waited for him to "put me to sleep and cut me open." He just sat there and said he was waitng on me. I sat up and asked what he was talking about. He whispered in my ear "you know what im talking about". When i made him tell me i was shocked. But i had to believe him so i laid back down and started screaming. He kept holding my hands and rubbing my stomach and after 5 minutes of this my mother heard me and i got lectured for scaring her to death.
