One time, when I still used to go to public loos with my mum, she had her periods. I didn't see her pad, but only saw the red liquid in the loo. I thought this was because she had ate too much strawberries, and because strawberries used to be (and still is) my favourite fruit, I shouted at my mum for eating strawberries without my knowing.

for awhile (thanks to my dad) I believed that a girl got pregnant from touching a doorknob at the same time as a boy from opposite sides, when I started walking around trying to open doorknobs with my elbows, my mom noticed and asked me about it, when I said "I'm trying ot to get pregnant" - she went and found my dad and told him to "fix me". So he told me that you could get pregnant only if you drank from the same cup as a boy - I never even shared a cup with girls - just in case!

I used to believe that you could order babies from a catalogue!And that everybody had been mail ordered!

when i was around five or six i heard my nine year old neighbor talking about sex and having a baby. I was a curious little girl and i asked how a baby got to be in the womans belly to begin with. She told me that a woman got pregnant by french kissing a man and then the woman would bite off the end of a mans tounge and swallow it and therefore she would get pregnant. Needless to say, when my first boyfriend asked if i wanted to french kiss, i freaked out and said "no i am to young to have a baby!" lol

When I was a little kid, I didn't believe in the stork. I believed that women became pregnant as a physiological reaction to being in mutual love. (Maybe that's how it SHOULD be.)
I used to think that people would get married, be married for a few years,then just be pregnant. Then when they didnt want to have anymore babies, you said "NO MORE BABIES!" and it would stop.

When i was younger, i thought that sex was just that two peopole got naked together and layed there, doing absolutely nothing. Then they would get out and the woman would be pregnant. I think it is because i heard the butt of too many conversations.
I used to believe…
When I was younger, I asked my mother where the baby came out. She obviously didn't want to get too graphical and said from the same place you pee from.
I had never thought of questioning this. Then one day I went bright red when my friends told me the truth!
how could I have been so dumb?
I used to believe…
My mother told me that babies were born from a 'special place' on a woman's body, however she omitted to tell me where this 'special place' was. For some reason I didn't need to ask, because I assumed (for some obscure reason)that it was in the middle of her back.
I used to believe…
Even though they told us in sex-ed all about sperms and eggs and cell reproduction, they never actually told us HOW the sperm got to the egg. I had to figure it out for myself. So until I put the pieces together, when I saw teenagers making rude gestures simulating vaginal intercourse or heard them talking about it, I thought it was just another foreplay activity, and not the actual pregnancy-causing act itself.
I used to believe…
When was younger, i belived that getting pregnant was not a choice, that one day you just woke up in the middle of the night with a big belly and yelled,"Oh no, my water broke!" and then your husband would rush you to the hospital. And if you were lucky enough to know you were pregnant in advance you could take a girl pill or a boy pill to determine the gender. And when I was very very young and had jsut found out about babies, my mom had told me that they came oput of your tummy.I remeber having this vision of someones big belly hatching open like a chicken egg and a feathery baby climbling out...i was a weird one.
I used to believe that anyone that was fat was having a baby. I really, really wanted a baby so I used to eat all the fat off of my family's food (I was 6). I particularly remember eating the fat off of all the pork chops at dinner. I once saw a really fat man at a grocery store and thought he was having a baby. I couldn't understand how the baby would come out of a man.
I used to believe that my teenaged sister was telling the truth that my parents found me in the strawberry patch in our back yard. I remember looking at it very respectfully as a 4-year-old and thinking I had to tread carefully so as not to crush the plants, as I hunted for berries to eat on the sly. Strangely enough, it didn't disturb me to have my (jealous) sister telling me I didn't really belong in the family. I liked strawberries so much it seemed that a strawberry baby was much superior to a normally acquired infant. I felt quite satisfied to be me, and it made complete sense to me, because I REALLY liked strawberries.

I used to believe…
As the youngest among three sisters, I only heard my sisters talking about their periods during the summer holiday. They just never called it by the name and always referred to it as "my point point point". I figured that it was some kind of paper they had to write for school during the holidays and really wasn't looking forward to having to write one myself.

I used to think that pads were little diapers for my baby dolls.. haha
i used to think that the penis was a string! i saw my 6 year old cousin naked when i was 3 , and i said to my mom, "Nick has strings! But don't worry, they'll fall off!"
I was a rather naive child who didn't know much about sex. I remember finally 'figuring out' what a blowjob was around the time of the Clinton scandal (I must have been in 6th grade or so) but I got my details a bit mixed up and decided a blowjob was when you stuck a cigar in a woman's vagina and smoked it. My friends were very impressed by my new knowledge!

I used to think that a man's willy was called his 'tail'. I frequently asked my mom's friends if they had one...!
I used to think that sex was peeing in a girls anus
