When I was a child, I used to believe babies were born in cabbages. Once my mother brought a cabbage home and I was scared she would cut it and kill the baby, so I used a pen to try to dig a tiny hole in it to see the baby...
No need to say the cabbage was ruined.
I didn't get punished though, for my mother thought it was cute. But she did explain that babies were NOT born in cabbages... I remained doubtfull for a long time.

When I was 7, I thought maxis were used for any type of bleeding. We lived on the east coast, so when Hurricane Hugo came around I made "Emergency Hurricane Kits" for myself and my two younger cousins. The next time they came over, I proudly presented them with their kits in front of my entire family. Everyone thought it was really cute and sweet, and oohed and ahhed over the mini flashlights and children's Tylenol I'd put into the kits... Until the boys pulled out the 5 maxis I'd stuck in each.

My friend was pulling on her breasts (the ones she didnt have yet) saying that it would make them be big when she got older. I didnt ever want breasts so I would push really hard on mine. I dont know how hers turned out, but it seemed to work for mine!
I used to think that there was a chemical in the wedding ring that made you pregnant. Whenever someone was pregnant and they weren't married, I always thought, "ooohh, I wonder whose wedding ring they borrowed"

The first time I used a tampon my mother sent me in to the bathroom to try it out. I was so scared I couldnt believe THAT THING could fit in me. When I came out I asked my mom why it hurt to sit down. I thought the applicator was supposed to stay in too! No wonder it hurt. We still giggle about it to this day!

When my mom was pregnant with one of my little sisters (I was 7), she got me books on baby development and birth because I was so curious about it all. I became quite the expert on how things worked. There was one thing I didn't understand, though:
"Mom, how does the sperm get from the man into the woman?"
"It happens when they're very close together," she said.
For years, I'd see couples sitting close together and try to see sperm flying through the air between them.
