When I was a little girl, my mother told me that my cousin was an "accident." I couldn't figure out how a couple had sex accidentally, so I assumed that while the couple was sleeping, the man's penis could "sniff out" a woman's menstrual blood, and unbeknownst to either partner, engage in sexual intercourse. Thus, my cousin was an "accident."
