A childhood belief about getting pregnant

When I was about four, my mom was having another baby and some very weird cravings, so she used to stick these weird white olives on her fingers and eat them one by one. One day I was watching Sesame Street and Wayne Brady was on, who, as you know, is a black man, and his fingernails showed really prominently as white on his dark figers. Well, his fingernails looked just like the white olives my pregnant mom used to eat, so that's what I thought they were. Therefore, any black guy I saw on TV I thought was pregnant.
