As a little girl, I had heard the story of Jesus's birth and the Virgin Mary many times. And from that story I came to believe that a virgin was a woman that had a baby before she was married, because the Virgin Mary wasn't married to Joseph when she got pregnant. LOL. I'm 13 now, but my mom still thinks it was cute.
