When I was about five, I was under the impression that a woman HAD (and I mean legally) to be married in order to get pregnant. Well, the teachers aid in class was pregnant and one of the girls asked her if she had a husband, and I jumped in right away with, Of course she does, it's against the law to have a baby without a husband!" The look on my face when she snapped that she didn't have a husband and that you didn't have to have one must have been priceless!
