when I was in kindergarten, my mom told me that babies were made when you "sleep with someone". Having been given this "secret", I suddenly developed a phobia of naptime when the boys and girls in my class slept in the same room on cots. I didn't want to "sleep with" the entire class, so I refused to take a nap for two whole weeks. I kept waiting for babies to appear, and when they didn't I decided my mom was making up stories, and continued taking naptime.
