My Mother was pretty buxom when I was a child, and as was the fashion in the 50's, she wore low cut summer dresses that displayed a generous display of cleavage.
I asked often "where did I come from", all the while being pretty sure that babies originate in their mummies tummies, since an Aunt was pregnant.
How did they get out, was the question?
The little engineer in me for lack of better data, surmised that they must emerge kicking and screaming one day, from that bottomless cleavage.
