When I was about 3 years old my mom had tripped and fallen on the last couple stairs going down to our basement and my parents made kind of a big deal about it for reasons I didn't exactly understand. A few days later they told me she was pregnant with my little sister, so that was why they made a big deal about it, had to make sure the baby was okay and everything. Some how I made the connection that if you trip and fall you get pregnant. So for the next few weeks I'd purpously trip down the stairs, my parents thought I was nuts until I finally told them what was going through my head.
