When my mom was pregnant with my little brother my mom and dad were standing in the kitchen playing around and my dad joked that he would punch my mom on the stomach and make the baby pop out. "Where does the baby pop out from?" I asked my mom and she said "A little trap door." For many years later I beleived that women had a cellar door with hinges and a ring to pull that would pop open and dump the baby out.
