When we were little, my sister always wondered how women had babies. I would just tell her that they came out of mommy, just like she did.
A few weeks ago, she finally admitted to thinking that a mommy un-velcroed her stomach and just pulled the baby out once her belly button had popped out. (That was the sign of the baby being ready to come out.)
Now that she's older, she finally knows the difference. haha.
