When I was 6, I asked my mom where babies came from. Not thinking I was ready for the "talk", she calmy told me that a mommy and daddy go to K-Mart and put a baby on layaway. In 9 months, they go and pick it up. No explanation on why mommies get so big. (I was 6, she was under pressure!) They straightened it out for me a year later when my sister was born, but to this day, the customer service desk in the back of K-Mart freaks me out.
