Until she was about 12 my sister belived that she would be able to chose the sex of her baby. Her idea was that it went: Man on top-its a boy, Woman on top-its a girl. It was only when I asked her what she expected to give birth to after doggie style that she finally noticed that her plan wasnt quite so fool proof!
