I was about 8 years, and I heard some friends talking about the period. I asked what it was, and the answer was:
"You bleed in your bottom. Only girls can get it"
I was like:
"Cool! I'm looking forward to get the peroid!" I thought we girls only got the peroid once in a life. And then: Finish with it.
I'm not that stupid now.

When I was three or four, I went into my mom and dad's bedroom when they weren't paying attention (they weren't in their room either). I found my mom's vibrator and didn't know what it was and (yep, you guessed it) started playing with it. Now, it didn't look like a penis, it was just shaped like one. And you know, since pills are long and skinny and so are penises, I thought the vibrator was a giant pill with HUNDREDS of tiny pills inside. My mom had always reffered to taking pills when she didn't feel good, and that particular night I didn't feel good. So I tried EVERTHING to get the"giant pill" open so I could be a big girl and take a grown up pill just like Mommy did! I even tried getting it open with my teeth (EW!!!). Days later I asked my mom why she kept all her pills in the "giant pill" and when she replied "What giant pill??," I explained to her what happened. Then she told to me what it was, what it was used for, and that I should never touch it again! (You can imagine how akward that was!). Now that I'm 28 and married, I still reffer to vibrators as "giant pills."

I belived that rituals in a wedding are all that it takes for a baby to be born. My younger sis and I tried it out by following the rituals - well nothing happened :). My elder sis had believed that there is a tiny baby inside you from the day you were born and it grows gradually so that it will be ready to be born after the wedding.

When I was little, my parents used to tell me the story of where I came from:
They were really poor but wanted another daughter, so they got a big jar and started saving coins to buy one. It took a really long time, but eventually, they took the big jar full of coins to a baby store. They saw all kinds of babies, some with black hair, and some with pretty purple eyes. But while my sister was wandering around, she came across a beautiful little girl with golden locks and freckles, and called my parents over, and they agreed the moment they saw me. I was wrapped in pretty paper and ribbons like a present and brought home that day.

When I was little I believed tampongs was condoms. So I thougt that intead of gummy people used papir (witch is in tampong) under sex. I used to think that was very creepy, since it would be a lot of tiny papir around the bed after the sex.

I always thought that you could only start getting pregnant after you got married, at which point you would get pregnant randomly.

My voice used to be kind of deep for a girl, I'm something of a tomboy, and I've always had swimmer's shoulders, so I started to suspect that the doctor had made a mistake and that I was secretly a boy.

I eventually asked my mother how she knew I wasn't a boy. She wouldn't elaborate any more than, "I just know," so I remained suspicious for quite some time.

I believed that periods were one-time spurts of blood. After I got mine and saw that I was still bleeding later, I assumed I must have hurt myself somehow and didn't tell my mom.

(I wish they only lasted for that one second...)

I used to believe…

When I finally asked my mother about the birds and the bees, she left out the part about penetration. She said, "The man and the woman lie down on top of each other and they just fit." I eventually decided the penis would curl up like a larvae and that the woman would wrap her labia around it.

When I was younger, I thought that condoms were ment to blow them up..After that, the woman should put the condom inside her, so she got pregnant. Then she could carry the baby inside her, with the condom inside for 9 months!

When I was younger and me and my mom and/or dad went to the store I would always, in some way or the other, try to get them to buy me some candy. (I realize I was a pain in the ass) One day my mother and I went into a gasstation. (I was about 6-7yo) We had been there many times before, but they had rearranged the shelves and counters. I had for some time noticed the special candy that was hanging way up on the wall, behind the counter, but now the were moved down just in my height and reach. Strawberry, banana and the one I had my eyes on; licoricecandy! I took it down and wanted my poor old mum to buy it for me. I didn't quite understand the reaction from my mom and the girl behind the counter, but it was a mixture of embarassment, amusement and disappointment. Ok I stood for the disappointed part because I didn't get my licoricecandy, and i was told i had to get older first, and some other subtile remarks I couldn't make out. I got a chocolatebar though. When we got out my mum told me that it was something called "condoms", apparently flavoured. Not long after I figured out that condoms was something grownup guys puts on their little crusadors when they would hug their girlfriend in that special way.. and I started to wonder why girls wantet the little guy to taste like candy! I had some ideas and thoughts about the issue.. and it wasn't until some years later i found out that they were surprisingly accurate! And now it even made sense ;)

I belived that when a baby was borned, it came out of the mother's ass

I used to believe that people got married and just wished for a baby. I dont even think anyone told me this, I just thought it up on my own.

I used to believe…

When my little sister was born, my mom got me a present "from the baby" so that I would like the baby. I was really excited because the baby knew exactly what I wanted. But then, I asked my mom "Mama, where did the baby get that?" and my mom said "there is a mall inside my belly"
She tells me she told me right after she was just kidding, but somehow I missed the joke and I believed that there was a mall inside my mom's stomach for the longest time.

When my nephew was about 11-12 he asked his grandparents if it did hurt to make love to someone. They answered him: "No, why should it hurt?" He replied "doesn't it hurt when you have to put the balls inside?"
