When I was fairly young (quite possibly four or five), I was fortunate enough to have a fairly good scientific grasp on how reproduction occurred - at least, as far as the sperm and the egg went. Exactly when and how this happened, I wasn't quite sure - but my personal theory was that while the soon-to-be parents were sleeping in the same bed, they somehow gravitated toward each other, and while sleeping, did something that caused conception. Exactly what this 'something' was, I really didn't know.
