When I was younger, probably about seven, a very devious friend of mine told me that being RAPED meant that you were attacked in a restroom and wrapped up like a mummy in toilet paper. I figured out the truth when my girl scout troop accidently ended up in the public seating of a rape trial. Thanks a lot Eden!

My mother once ran home crying after a boy on the playground informed her that her ass was broken. It had a "crack" in it.
when i was very young i thought the sex was when a girl just stared at a boy for a few days then had a baby!
When i was about 6-7 i played with these 'napkins' i found undernieth the sink in the bathroom. one day my mom found me playing with them and said "What ar you doing in the special napkins?" so then the next time we had a fancy dinner shehad asked me to set the table to i took out the 'Fancy' napkins. I never knew why i got in so much troble till i was a bout 9.
I used to think that you had to buy hard-ons at the store. I think it was my mother who told me that after watching "Then an Now" ( good movie!). I thought that they were like condoms that had sort of a plastic dildo thing in the end. I didn't know guys got erections so this seemed perfectly logical to me. I'm a freak . . .
When I was a child I used to believe that kids came from a kiss and then when I was in kinder garden , I saw a my brother kissing his grilfiend. When I arrived home, I told my mother her son was going to have a kid . Naturally my mother was very worried and she telephoned my father. When my borther got home, my parents hit the roof .
When I was a child I used to believe that boys were born in vegetables and girls in flowers.
When I was younger I used to believe that the moon and the sun were married.
If they turned around the earth it was because they were separated and the sun was following the moon.
When I was 8 my best friend came over to my house and breathlessly told me that he knew how babies were made. We went out into my yard so that no one could overhear this awful knowlege and solemnly told me that for it to happen a man has to gp pee inside a woman. I believed for several years :S
When I was young I asked how people got pregnant, and was told that a man and woman would need to lay with each other in bed. I took this very literaly and while playing the childhood game of "house" was scared that even laying down next to a girl on the floor as a pretend bed would get a girl pregnant.
One day for fear of having to explaining what I knew to my friends, and because I liked the girl I was playing house with, I layed next to a neighbor girl as pretend parents while playing "house". None of the other kids seemed to have a problem with this. That night I could hardly sleep, and confronted my mom the next day that I had gotten the neighbor girl pregnant.
That turned out to be an interesting day.
I USED TO BELIEVE THAT KISSING WAS SEX. SO WHEN I WAS KISSED ON THE CHEEK IN FIFTH GRADE, I THOUGHT WE HAD F*ED ON THE CHEEK
My mom used to have a friend who was in a large Catholic family with 12 siblings. They ate a lot of beans. Thus, Mom made the connection that beans made you pregnant.

When I was about nine years old my friend told me that men do it to you when you are asleep, for years I was afraid to fall asleep in front of a boy.
When I was in first grade my babysitter had a son a couple years younger than I was and we were great friends. One day his aunt brought his newborn cousin over to visit. We both loved the baby and decided we should make one of our own. We climbed in to bed (fully clothed) got under the covers and hugged each other. I also made him kiss me on the cheek to make sure we would really make a baby. We decided we would have a little boy and name him the same name as his little cousin. I was crushed when my best friend told me I couldn't really be pregnant because I didn't have my period yet at school the next day.
From the time I first heard about condoms to today after I found out the truth, I used to think that condoms where like glycerin supposatories (Those little lubricated things people stick up their butt when they are constipated, haha) that men stuck up their "thing". Today I learned that they are actually a plastic thing men slide over the thing.
When I was a tiny girl I had the fortunate experience of witnessing a cat giving birth to a litter of kittens, but rather than it helping me understand the birthing process it only confused me more. For a long time I believe that all an animal had to do to have a baby was lick it's poop until it turned in to a baby, which really made my parents seem absolutly disgusting to me.
I think I was about 5 when I asked my mom where babies came from. She promptly told me that babies come from a woman's birth canal. For some reason, at this point in my childhood, that answer sufficed and I did not ask her anymore questions. But for years after I thought that the birth canal was in a woman's arm and that IVs where used somewhere in the process of getting pregnant and/or giving birth.
As a small child I believed that when you got married you instantly became pregnant (this probably had something to do with being raised amongst mormon family who always popped out at least one immediatly after getting married).
