I used to think that women got pregnant from eating chicken patties. I saw a pregnant woman eating a chicken patty on a TV show so naturally, I believed that was the reason.

I used to believe that people had sex by kissing (the saliva would somehow get into the woman's stomach and she'd have her baby there)
When my parents had sex it was LOUD. I would hear my mom screaming in her room and I know my dad is in there as well so at the time I thought my dad had a knife and was trying to kill my mom. I believed that my dad was a killer so much that I ran into the room once to save my mother and I saw my dad on my mom and he yelled, "GET OUT!" I always knock now, even if I think my dad is going to kill my mom -_-;;
We were all watching family television, and a comercial came on for maxi pads. My brother about 10, asked my mom what maxi pads were used for. My mom asked him, "What do you think they are used for?" He said, I think you tape them under your arms for extra odor protection. We all rolled in laughter.
when my mom was pregnant with my younger sister, I asked her if she would come out naked. She said Yes and I told her to swallow some underwear so she wouldn't be seen naked.
My 11 year old son came downstairs one morning and said he had "hormones" coming out of his body.I asked him what he meant and he explained..he had a wet dream but had just had some sex ed. and they were teaching about hormones..thus he put 2&2 together and this is what he had come up with.

I used to believe that a "wet dream" was when you had such a great dream that you had the inability to get up and use the restroom, thus wetting your bed.
My dad was stationed in Thailand during Vietnam, and when he came back, he had a photograph of himself holding a blonde monkey. He told me that I looked just like the monkey when I was a baby, so until I was 9 or 10, I believed that we were all born monkeys, then turned human when we got older.
When I was a very little girl, of course, I didn't know "where babies came from," and I don't really remember asking, but I thought that the mommy was in her bed, sleeping, then two angels, one on either side of the bed, appeared with the baby, and left it there.

I thought that you could choose the sex of your babies by selecting left or right when you entered the woman!
When I was eight years old, my parents let me watch an educational video about sex, and it included illustrations of the process. I remember hoping to God the penis didn't go in the same place I peed from.
For some reason my vagina was referred to as a "gar" by my none-to-progressive parents. I was mortified the first time I heard of the fish called by the same name.
I remember the day my dad told my brother to refer to his penis as a "pecker." When I asked him what to call mine, he said something but my mother quickly sushed him. For many years, I was bitter because my brother had something to call his private parts, but I didn't.
when I was really young, before I started "coming" during masturbation I read that it was really messy and got everywhere, so I thought it would be just like peeing. every time I did "it" I was worried I would start to come and it would collect into a big pile on the floor and start flooding or something...
I used to think that my parents only "did it" to have children and then they didn't do it anymore. It wasn't until I was a teen that I realized that wasn't true.
