A childhood belief about getting pregnant

When I was about 5 years old I was on the school bus with one of my best guy friends. He asked me if we could live together when we were grown-ups. I told him no because my cousins had recently moved in with men and gotten pregnant and I didnt want to.

That night I asked my mom if there was anything I could do to not get pregnant and she told me (red faced) that if you didnt want a baby you didnt have one. I was amazed at this "mind over matter" power all our bodied had and my mom didn't give me any more advice on contraception for quite a while!
