A childhood belief about reproduction

I never had to ask where babies came from- I had it all figured out. Because they were different than fingers, it had something to do with your thumbs. Married people held hands- end of story. Then the mommy's tummy was like Jiffy Pop popcorn. Her belly button opened up and the baby came out. The baby was connected to the mommy by it's belly button. Then the mommy's belly button went back down. I was nine when I learned the truth and told my 11 year old friend she had been lied to.
