When I was 4 or 5 I loed playing mommy with my baby dolls. I couldnt wait to be a real mommy! The only proble was, I didnt knowhow to get a real baby. I asked m mom one morning. She paused and said the stork brang it. I thought for a second and said "yeah right!" so she said, okay, you have to pray for a baby. So I said, "okay! I'll go pray right now!: "No!" She said. "you have to be a certain age, you have to be a grown-up" Oh. I replied. Well where do they come out of your belly? She said my belly button. For a while I belived her. Months later, I asked her again. This time she said "a specail hole" so I thought it was my butt hole. I soon got the idea that we were born as babydolls. I felt my cabage patches hard, round head and thought about how it would hurt badly! I kept thinking... Then when I was 9, I asked my mom "if daddys have nothing to do with when babies are born, how do i look like daddy?" she gave me the talk and I wasnt interested anymore.
